书籍简介：

An expos? on the delusion, greed, and arrogance that led to America's credit crisis The collapse of America's credit markets in 2008 is quite possibly the biggest financial disaster in U.S. history. Confidence Game: How a Hedge Fund Manager Called Wall Street's Bluff is the story of Bill Ackman's six-year campaign to warn that the $2.5 trillion bond insurance business was a catastrophe waiting to happen. Branded a fraud by the Wall Street Journal and New York Times, and investigated by Eliot Spitzer and the Securities and Exchange Commission, Ackman later made his investors more than $1 billion when bond insurers kicked off the collapse of the credit markets. Unravels the story of the credit crisis through an engaging and human drama Draws on unprecedented access to one of Wall Street's best-known investors Shows how excessive leverage, dangerous financial models, and a blind reliance on triple-A credit ratings sent Wall Street careening toward disaster Confidence Game is a real world "Emperor's New Clothes," a tale of widespread delusion, and one dissenting voice in the era leading up to the worst financial disaster since the Great Depression.

书友短评：

@ 闫养云 个人以为这本书最精彩的地方不在于Ackman如何一步步凭借自己的分析及强大的信心战胜MBIA，战胜华尔街，而在于其对次贷危机前后种种现象进行了细致的描述 – 债务保险公司、投资银行、评级机构、监管以及投资者之间的Interaction被作者描绘的淋漓尽致。同时作者还用十分专业的语言描述了CDO, CDO^2, CDS, ABCP等等制造的过程。让我印象很深的是有一章专门讲述作者调查这些其中一个Tax Lien Deal的Collateral，简直趣味十足。与其说这是一本讲述Bill Ackman成名史的书籍，不如说这是一本通过Bill的视角来讲述次贷危机史的作品。 @ xenophobe Bill Ackman的精彩故事 @ 冯睿翁 Bill Ackman是真投资者，膜拜
