The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine by Michael Lewis is a gripping non-fiction account of the 2008 financial crisis, told through the lens of a handful of investors who foresaw the collapse. With his signature narrative flair, Lewis unpacks the rise of subprime mortgages, the proliferation of risky mortgage-backed securities, and the emergence of credit default swaps. Praised for making complex financial concepts accessible, the book sheds light on the human consequences of the crash and the systemic failures that enabled it. Adapted into a critically acclaimed film starring Christian Bale, Steve Carell, Ryan Gosling, and Brad Pitt, The Big Short brings to life the true story of those who bet against the system—and won.
