You obviously haven’t read the book. Now who’s the tool?
 
Has anyone read “How I Caused the Credit Crunch?” I suppose it’s probably less serious than the “Big Short” but how does it compare?

I have read the book and it was a decent read. My problem with Lewis isn’t so much his books, it’s him going on Charlie Rose and on the speaking circuit preaching to us about what was wrong with Wall St. Entertaining writer, yes. But when it comes to speeches I’d rather listen to someone who’s actually worked in the biz for more than 2 years in the 1980s.
