The Big Short

The true story behind the great financial crisis is as thrilling as a crime novel. All the money isn't gone; it has merely changed hands. What exactly transpired behind the scenes on Wall Street just before the great financial crisis is compellingly narrated by former investment banker and current bestselling author Michael Lewis. In this true story about greed and excess at the heart of the financial industry, he reveals the cynical mechanisms of the markets and tells of the invention of a monstrous money machine: a handful of savvy hedge fund managers predicted the collapse of the real estate market in the U.S. and bet against the market. With success.
