IRB Introduction: The Big Short




The Big Short, by Michael Lewis, discusses the banking crisis of 2008 from his view with a focus on the different people involved. I chose this book because it has been recommended to me several times by various people as a crucial read for my generation and because, at this point, I am interested in economics and finances. From what I've read at this point, I have come to understand that The Big Short is not so packed with financial jargon that I couldn't read it, given my limited experience in the field. Just having read so far, I notice several fresh metaphors which gives me reason to believe that Lewis's writing style will be interesting in addition to the book's interesting topic.
