Michael Lewis studied art history at Princeton University and economics at the London School of Economics before working as a bond salesman at Salomon Brothers in the 1980s. That experience became Liar's Poker, his debut book. He is the bestselling author of numerous books including Moneyball. The Big Short follows the small group of financial outsiders who recognized the impending collapse of the U.S. mortgage bond market and made billions betting against it, offering a darkly comic portrait of institutional greed and systemic failure. A number-one New York Times bestseller and later the basis of the 2015 Academy Award-winning film of the same name. ISBN 978-0-393-07223-5. Ships from Canada.
