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.

Just finished reading Michael Lewis’s Boomerang, a book about the aftermath of the economic crysis based on the author’s trips to Iceland, Greek, Ireland, Germany and… California. Just like many of Michael’s books before this one, it’s a very interesti...
評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。

Michael Lewis還是好文筆，但這本書有趣但深度有限。令人思考的是，Iceland的舉債收購海外資産，Ireland的大興土木造房子，Greece的公務員高福利，Germany的亂買衍生品，Califonia的無節製發市政債，所有可笑和荒誕在中國都似乎可以見怪不怪。
评分讀瞭一半
评分personal favourite of the author. 跳齣美國,他更尖刻,但更直接更好玩.雖然不能給齣答案,將癥結所在總結得清爽.
评分fun 講德國人與肛門文化的那一部分太好笑瞭
评分4.5星。冰島、希臘、愛爾蘭、德國、加州都涉及到瞭，不同的文化、不同的危機。
