  • His books are great, but what he either failed to understand or afraid to tell is that all these Wall Street "sharks" are far from stupid. They didn't "loose" those trillions of dollars in mindless bets, they pocketed all those money by arranged "losses", and covered their tracks. But sooner or later all those money and people who did it will be tracked down and hold accountable.

  • The host's AMAZON submission was TOTALLY irrelevant.

  • @cdltpx You mean 'Bernie Sanders 2012!'

A key name we all should know is Brooksley Born she was head of CFTC and she saw what was comming down the road Ruben and Greenspan slashed her before congress with the backing of Clinton. This book really gets you sick with the way these people operate they could care less about the country. Ron Paul 2012.

  • my sister just gave this book she got is for 2 Australian dollars havent read it yet

  • Wow. The end of the interview came out of nowhere 'Hey, guy we've just devoted a 50 minute interview, a bunch of people on Amazon say you're an asshole and that you know nothing; what do you have to say about that?'

  • @qwertypoiu4321 Sorry, you're wrong. Michael Lewis is pretty capable of discerning and articulating the facts in this matter. You sound like a conservative dupe.

  • I hope Michael Lewis doesn't really believe there will be effective government "reform" of Wall Street. I think he's smarter than that. Obama is owned by Wall Street, he's not about to really rock that boat.

  • @gregarious24 I agree, he's an ass
