Séria „Big Short“ od Michaela Lewise odkrýva zákulisie Wall Streetu počas vzniku a kolapsu hypotekárnej bubliny. „The Big Short“ sleduje outsiderov, ktorí spoznali systémové riziko a stavili proti trhu. „Lhářův poker“ (Liar’s Poker) je drsné svedectvo zo Salomon Brothers o chamtivosti, egu a kultúre rizika osemdesiatych rokov. Spolu ponúkajú strhujúci obraz finančného systému, jeho zlyhaní a tých, čo ich vedeli čítať.
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.
In this visceral tour to the heart of the financial system, Michael Lewis takes us around the globe and back decades to trace the origins of the current crisis. He meets the people who saw it coming, the people who were asleep at the wheel and the people who were actively driving us all of cliff.
