The Big Short Inside the Doomsday Machine

Some of his books have even become some of our favorite movies such as The Blind Side, Moneyball and The Big Short.

It was the big short when I read that book. I had one of those weird moments where I just knew how it should look.

Remember when Wall Street broke the economy back in 2008? A few unlikely geniuses saw it coming and bet against the system. Bestselling author Michael Lewis, who's joined us on the show before, turned their story into the big short, the blockbuster book that became an Oscar awardwinning movie. And now, in an era of meme stocks, crypto chaos, and housing prices that make you want to scream, it's the perfect time to revisit the big short. It's the ultimate playbook for understanding how markets really work... And for the first time ever, the big short is available as an audiobook narrated by Michael Lewis himself.

Michael Lewis, the culture changing author of Moneyball, The Big Short and countless other great books about his new book on the people that make the government work

The housing bubble was, there have been great books written on the housing bubble. Michael Lewis' book, The Big Short, is a good book on it. Good movie too. A couple other books, yeah.

My book, The Big Short, tells the story of the buildup and burst of the U.S. housing market back in 2008.

We fed the monster until it blew up. The monster was exploding. Yet on the streets of Manhattan, there was no sign anything important had just happened.

The Big Short's story, what it means when people start betting against the market, and who really pays for an unchecked financial system, is as relevant today as it's ever been, offering invaluable insight into the current economy and also today's politics.

then I think that might just be it for me in reading. It might just be a big short visit and I'm walking off off that.

I've never seen like originals I've I mean you guys know I read one book it was The Big Short and that's I've said it a million times the book is better than movie

you've got a series of books now, The Big Short, Fifth Risk, now this one, that are about the ways bureaucracies and systems have trouble hearing the people who are raising the alarm.

But Michael Lewis, that's the guy who wrote Moneyball and The Big Short and Liar's Poker, has been thinking a lot about it.

the big short, you're talking about in 2008, destroying almost the entire world financial system.

Or an even more unlikely book to be turned into a film, The Big Short.

Lewis' book about how a housing bubble turned into a financial disaster.

Or an even more unlikely book to be turned into a film. The Big Short, Lewis' book about how a housing bubble turned into a financial disaster.

With something called a credit default swap, it's like insurance on the bond and if it goes bust you can make 10 to 1, even 20 to 1 return.

I was astonished that anybody bothered to make Moneyball, much less The Big Short.

as was lampooned in the big short it's showing that these mortgage brokers at the the hast arguably of uwm are taking advantage of that trust to rip people off

is that once again as was lampooned in the big short it's showing that these mortgage brokers at the hast arguably of uwm are taking advantage of that trust to rip people off

So I had a really interesting conversation once with the author, Michael Lewis, um, of Moneyball and the Blind Side and the Big Short.

So I suspect at some point it's got that's going to be fun. We're all going to be in for a real treat when that book hits.

This was based on a book Lewis wrote about a group of traders who had the foresight to predict and profit off of the 2008 financial crash.

The big short. Michael Burry is in the news, obviously.

His books, The Fifth Risk, Flash Boys, The Big Short, read it, loved it, Moneyball, The Blind Side.

I thought you might have learned your lesson. But you've now done it again with The Big Short.

while writing the big short, two of the characters in it, what he was not allowed to share was that his dad was the president of Lehman Brothers.

And then who's our man who Michael Lewis wrote the big short? Lewis. Michael Lewis.

the big short was based on an article in Vanity Fair and a profile of the guy who had been smart enough to bet against all of these mortgage-backed securities.

And it's kind of like how everybody learned about Glass-Steagall and all of the deregulation during the Clinton administration, mostly from the Michael Lewis book, The Big Short, and from a lot of the books and analysis of the global financial crisis, maybe a year and a half. So afterwards, but by that time, Dodd-Frank was basically all law.

the big short um it was great and a ton of a ton of incredible books

it was great and a ton of a ton of incredible books he started out with lyre's poker he was a trader back in the 1980s and then ends up writing about layman which then ends up fueling the uh the financial crisis in 2007 2008 with the very mortgage backed securities that he wrote about in lyre's poker which is an incredible book and that's before you get the money ball blindside he's just had this run of just incredible both luck and talent and the luck lands again where he spent the last six months or year or whatever with ftx like he was able to see a good story before it was crumbling right i don't think he knew it was gonna be this good but he knew it was gonna be good

but he knew it was gonna be good and so for sam bankman freed to basically have carried on as if nothing has really changed DMing uh with reporters doing twitter spaces doing interviews just hanging out and being a dude incriminating himself incriminating himself constantly and that's what i don't understand about this so the two possibilities here give and take possibility you know he's he's this is part of a way to sort of negotiate with law enforcement or he rides this out to the bitter end if i'm curious as to whether he's actually going to ride this out to the bitter end precisely because of what you just said the the hubris that he has in sort of chatting with reporters incriminating himself doing interviews looking so casual and relaxed about the whole thing um i don't know i i mean i think maybe he thinks he can muddy the waters hire really good lawyers and um i believe he has one of glane maxwell's defense attorney there you go and just work his way through the situation because the law has been too loose around crypto period that it's not you know that is the law actually there to say this is a slam dunk for decades in prison

As a fan of Moneyball, as a fan of The Big Short, Liar's Poker. I thought these were great, great books.

I love the book, The Big Short. Big Short as a book.

And then I do think Big Short hurt this movie a little bit because it was so successful.

I want to stay with the Big Short part of it, too, because I mean, look, J.C.'s writing this before.

The Big Short was a very cool movie that I like a lot that we've done on the rewatchables.

I think Brad Pitt got $30million for this movie and he's like it's not about the money... The Big Short.
