迈克尔·刘易斯,美国超级畅销书作家,毕业于美国普林斯顿大学和英国伦敦经济学院,曾任所罗门兄弟公司的债券交易员,后为《纽约时报》撰稿,并担任英国《观察家周刊》的美国版编辑。他的成名作《说谎者的扑克牌》被公认是描写20世纪80年代华尔街文化的经典名作,书中的精彩片段被各种媒体广泛引用,对美国商业文化产生了重大影响。还著有《钱球》、《盲边》以及《住房游戏》。
The #1 New York Times bestseller: a brilliant account—character-rich and darkly humorous—of how the U.S. economy was driven over the cliff. When the crash of the U. S. stock market became public knowledge in the fall of 2008, it was already old news. The real crash, the silent crash, had taken place over the previous year, in bizarre feeder markets where the sun doesn’t shine, and the SEC doesn’t dare, or bother, to tread: the bond and real estate derivative markets where geeks invent impenetrable securities to profit from the misery of lower- and middle-class Americans who can’t pay their debts. The smart people who understood what was or might be happening were paralyzed by hope and fear; in any case, they weren’t talking.
The crucial question is this: Who understood the risk inherent in the assumption of ever-rising real estate prices, a risk compounded daily by the creation of those arcane, artificial securities loosely based on piles of doubtful mortgages? Michael Lewis turns the inquiry on its head to create a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his #1 best-selling Liar’s Poker . Who got it right? he asks. Who saw the real estate market for the black hole it would become, and eventually made billions of dollars from that perception? And what qualities of character made those few persist when their peers and colleagues dismissed them as Chicken Littles? Out of this handful of unlikely—really unlikely—heroes, Lewis fashions a story as compelling and unusual as any of his earlier bestsellers, proving yet again that he is the finest and funniest chronicler of our times.
《老千骗局》看得很匆忙,从图书馆借一个星期就要还,因为这两本书在台湾都被推荐为教科辅导书,我们今天拿到《大卖空》,因为老师要当作读书会的书。 看《老》的时候真的有被吓到,觉得里面描写交易员的状况和描写动物园似的,对华尔街的那些人产生畏惧心理了都,美好的想象幻...
评分 评分金融术语就不再赘述,想当年我还翻译过雷曼关于CDO和合成CDO的文章,赚些零花钱,现在想来恍如隔世。还是先说说书中我最钦佩的牛掰人物,迈克尔.巴里。 他最精彩的发言如下:市场上基金经理评估风险的方法非常愚蠢。他们用波动幅度来评估风险。即过去几年间,一只股票或者债券...
评分 评分still love Michael Lewis.
评分黑评级机构那段实在是太讽刺但又是个残酷的事实:所有其它行业的人都被鸡贼金融业搞,连政府也得陪着玩。
评分Betting on the Blind Side.
评分讓人心煩意亂…
评分五星是因为当初给了too big to fail四星,但是坦白说,并不赞成全篇给做空者唱赞歌。
