Michael Lewis – The Big Short – Inside The Doomsday Machine – First US Edition
£185.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘The Big Short’ published by Norton in 2010. A fine book in like wrapper.
The book examines the lead-up to the 2008 financial crisis through the stories of investors who recognised the instability of the U.S. housing market. By uncovering reckless lending, flawed ratings, and Wall Street’s blind optimism, Lewis shows how a few outsiders bet against sub-prime mortgages and profited when the system collapsed. The book blends sharp analysis and human drama, highlighting systemic greed and failure. It was later adapted into the 2015 film ‘The Big Short’.
