Synopsis
Noted business writer Michael Lewis collects some of the best, most incisive writing about business and finance, focusing on four major financial crises in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. In the articles and reporting by Paul Krugman, Jeffrey Sachs, Joseph Stiglitz, and others--including Lewis--examine the causes behind each crisis, a common thread emerges of widespread irrational denial in the financial community. They also reveal that in many cases the public was shielded from the true scope of the disaster., Noted business writer Michael Lewis recalls five major financial crises in American history, examining the causes behind each one and arguing that, in each case, the public was shielded from the true scope of the disaster.
