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.
看了爱尔兰的情况,也就明白:在2008年巴菲特花了2.44亿美元购入两间爱尔兰银行的股分,当时以为很便宜,怎料到年底市值跌至2700万美元,账面蚀近90%。当前,中国的银行股看似很便宜,其实未必便宜。
评分作者通过自己在冰岛、希腊、爱尔兰、德国和美国加州的亲身经历,挑选了一些大众喜闻乐见的趣闻轶事集结成册。 作者用戏谑的语气,带读者游览在各个国家的金融市场所发生的让人觉得不可思议的笑话,例如冰岛的年轻才俊借外债买外国的资产把整个国家变成一个对冲基金;希腊腐败...

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Michael Lewis还是好文笔,但这本书有趣但深度有限。令人思考的是,Iceland的举债收购海外资产,Ireland的大兴土木造房子,Greece的公务员高福利,Germany的乱买衍生品,Califonia的无节制发市政债,所有可笑和荒诞在中国都似乎可以见怪不怪。
评分2011.11.9 不能说多么有insight, 但是风趣的anecdote,行云流水page turner, 依然是Lewis卖座的关键。
评分你就是自己的敵人。就像迴力標,擲出後若沒有擊中目標物,會再改變方向,回到原擲出者的手中。
评分还是Michael Lewis
