Matt Cochrane and I discuss The Big Short by Michael Lewis. On our last podcast, we talked about Liar’s Poker, Michael Lewis’ book about the bond market in the 1980’s.

The Big Short is very much the sequel to Liar’s Poker and it chronicles multiple investors who shorted the housing bubble of the 2000’s.
