The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine by Michael Lewis

4.0

Super compelling read, even for someone who didn't quite understand it all. I had to google a lot of terms for the book to make sense, and often just skipped over a few concepts altogether hoping they wouldn't be crucial to the narrative. Despite all that, it is deeply insightful and shocks you into realising that the great recession wasn't just the making of a few million greedy American home-owners (which is what I believed until now). Must read for everyone, definite must read if you understand financial jargon.
