About This Book
As Pogo once said, "We have met the enemy and he is us."
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.
