ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine by Michael Lewis delves into the 2008 financial crisis, focusing on a group of outsiders who predicted the collapse of the housing bubble. Through the perspectives of eccentric investors like Michael Burry and Steve Eisman, Lewis explores the complex financial instruments, such as subprime mortgages and collateralized debt obligations (CDOs), that fueled the crisis. The book highlights the recklessness and ignorance of Wall Street insiders, offering a critical look at the systemic failures and the moral hazards that led to one of the most significant financial disasters in history.
