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.

评分 评分这本书像之前作者的书一样,真实生动。 不像时寒冰那样的高谈阔论。而是通过自己对冰岛,希腊,爱尔兰,德国的亲身探访, 从被采访者的一言一行中来了解这个欧债危机的内在原因。 深度远远大于时寒冰的空洞。 并且读起来很有趣味。 特别是作者穿插着对这些国家的文化特性的表述。
4.5星。冰岛、希腊、爱尔兰、德国、加州都涉及到了,不同的文化、不同的危机。
评分还是Michael Lewis
评分国家的性格导致不同的行为和结果很有趣
评分终于把你给搞定了···
评分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。
