{"product_id":"the-big-short","title":"The Big Short","description":"The real story of the crash began in bizarre feeder markets where the sun doesn't shine and the SEC doesn't dare, or bother, to tread: the bond and real estate derivative markets where geeks invent impenetrable securities to profit from the misery of lower- and middle-class Americans who can't pay their debts. The smart people who understood what was or might be happening were paralyzed by hope and fear; in any case, they weren't talking.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Michael Lewis creates a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his #1 bestseller \u003cem\u003eLiar's Poker\u003c\/em\u003e. Out of a handful of unlikely-really unlikely-heroes, Lewis fashions a story as compelling and unusual as any of his earlier bestsellers, proving yet again that he is the finest and funniest chronicler of our time.\u003cdiv style=\"display:none\"\u003eISBN-10: 0393338827\u003cbr\u003eISBN-13: 9780393338829\u003cbr\u003eAuthor: Lewis, Michael\u003cbr\u003ePublisher: W.
