The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine
by Michael Lewis
Michael Lewis turns the 2008 financial crisis into the story of a few outsiders who saw the mortgage bond market for the disaster it was and bet against it. The Big Short is narrative nonfiction at its sharpest, explaining how Wall Street built something almost nobody understood, and finding grim comedy in the wreckage.
Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game
by Michael Lewis
Michael Lewis tells the story of how a broke baseball team used math to beat richer rivals, and turns a book about spreadsheets into something you race through in a sitting. Moneyball is the rare business story that reads like a heist.
