{"product_id":"the-big-short-inside-the-doomsday-machine-2","title":"The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine","description":"The #1 New York Times bestseller: \"It is the work of our greatest financial journalist, at the top of his game. And it's essential reading.\"―Graydon Carter, Vanity Fair\nThe real story of the crash began in bizarre feeder markets where the sun doesn't shine and the SEC doesn't dare, or bother, to tread: the bond and real estate derivative markets where geeks invent impenetrable securities to profit from the misery of lower- and middle-class Americans who can't pay their debts. The smart people who understood what was or might be happening were paralyzed by hope and fear; in any case, they weren't talking.\nMichael Lewis creates a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his #1 bestseller Liar's Poker. 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.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 0393338827\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: BVV.0393338827.A\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Acceptable\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Lewis, Michael\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: The item is very worn but is perfectly usable.
