书籍简介：

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.

书友短评：

@ Arrow Shaw 读了一半 @ 浅草 基本上还是围绕众人皆知的事实来写的，深度不够。不过可能有些事情的原因确实也深不到哪儿去。民族性和政治体制可以解释很大一部分问题。 @ 缝内裤的Kurt 没有德国，欧盟乙烷；有了德国，欧盟迟早还是药丸。 @ 梅文女王殿下 国家的性格导致不同的行为和结果很有趣 @ Gary 讲的不是很深有点失望，而且喜欢把金融危机归因于文化的弱点上… @ 芦涛 喜欢这种游记，看世界不一样的角度 @ Dawzaw You’d be surprised that things are still somewhat the same in the US 10 years later. @ mai You can tell a lot about a country by observing how much better they treat themselves than foreigners at the point of entry
