内容简介
······
The tsunami of cheap credit that rolled across the planet between 2002 and 2008 was more than a simple financial phenomenon: it was temptation, offering entire societies the chance to reveal aspects of their characters they could not normally afford to indulge. Icelanders wanted to stop fishing and become investment bankers. The Greeks wanted to turn their country into a pinata stuffed with cash and allow as many citizens as possible to take a whack at it. The Germans wanted to be even more German; the Irish wanted to stop being Irish. Michael Lewis's investigation of bubbles beyond our shores is so brilliantly, sadly hilarious that it leads the American reader to a comfortable complacency: oh, those foolish foreigners. But when he turns a merciless eye on California and Washington, DC, we see that the narrative is a trap baited with humor, and we understand the reckoning that awaits the greatest and greediest of debtor nations.
评论 ······
基本上还是围绕众人皆知的事实来写的,深度不够。不过可能有些事情的原因确实也深不到哪儿去。民族性和政治体制可以解释很大一部分问题。
我真的需要补充些金融知识。。
三行一个笑话
personal favourite of the author. 跳出美国,他更尖刻,但更直接更好玩.虽然不能给出答案,将症结所在总结得清爽.
