<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>In this brilliant #1 "New York Times"-bestselling account of how the U.S. economy has been driven over the cliff, the author of the bestseller "Liar's Poker" explains how the free fall of the American economy occurred and who, exactly, is to blame.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><br />Michael Lewis creates a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his #1 bestseller <em>Liar's Poker</em>. Out of a handful of unlikely-really unlikely-heroes, Lewis fashions a story as compelling and unusual as any of his earlier bestsellers, proving yet again that he is the finest and funniest chronicler of our time.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>I read Lewis for the same reasons I watch Tiger Woods. I'll never play like that. But it's good to be reminded every now and again what genius looks like.--Malcolm Gladwell "New York Times Book Review"<br><br>No one writes with more narrative panache about money and finance than Mr. Lewis....[he] does a nimble job of using his subjects' stories to explicate the greed, idiocies and hypocrisies of a system notably lacking in grown-up supervision....Writing in faintly Tom Wolfe-ian prose, Mr. Lewis does a colorful job of introducing the lay reader to the Darwinian world of the bond market.--Michiko Kakutani "The New York Times"<br><br>One of the best business books of the past two decades.--Malcolm Gladwell "New York Times Book Review"<br><br>Superb: Michael Lewis doing what he does best, illuminating the idiocy, madness and greed of modern finance. . . . Lewis achieves what I previously imagined impossible: He makes subprime sexy all over again.--Andrew Leonard "Salon.com"<br>
