Boomerang

Lewis Michael, 2012

This is the shocking story of how a continent succumbed to temptation and took leave of its senses. Greek monks became playboy financiers. Icelandic fishermen became investment bankers. And Germans became even more German. Then, the money ran out. In this tragicomic romp across Europe, Michael Lewis sets out to uncover what happens when the greed of entire nations comes back to bite them. What he finds is stranger and more compelling than fiction. «Boomerang» is the ultimate book for our times. It's time to brace ourselves for impact. And, with Michael Lewis, to laugh out loud while we're doing it. Подробнее

The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine

Lewis Michael, 2010

Truth really is stranger than fiction. Who better than the author of the signature bestseller Liar's Poker to explain how the event we were told was impossible-the free fall of the American economy-finally occurred; how the things that we wanted, like ridiculously easy money and greatly expanded home ownership, were vehicles for that crash; and how shareholder demand for profit forced investment executives to eat the forbidden fruit of toxic derivatives. Michael Lewis's splendid cast of characters includes villains, a few heroes, and a lot of people who look very, very foolish: high government officials, including the watchdogs; heads of major investment banks (some overlap here with previous category); perhaps even the face in your mirror. In this trenchant, raucous, irresistible narrative, Lewis writes of the goats and of the few who saw what the emperor was wearing, and gives them, most memorably, what they deserve. He proves yet again that he is the finest and funniest chronicler of our times. Подробнее

Liar's Poker

Lewis Michael, 2006

From mere trainee, to triumphal Big Swinging Dick: that was Michael Lewis` pell-mell progress through the dealing rooms of Salomon Brothers in New York and London during the heady mid-1980s when they were probably the world`s most powerful and profitable merchant bank. This is a tale of greed and ambition set in an obsessed, enclosed world. Подробнее
