Synopsis "panic,the story of modern financial insanity"

When it comes to markets, the first deadly sin is greed. In this New York Times bestseller, Michael Lewis is our jungle guide through five of the most violent and costly upheavals in recent financial history. With his trademark humor and brilliant anecdotes, Lewis paints the mood and market factors leading up to each event, weaves contemporary accounts to show what people thought was happening at the time, and, with the luxury of hindsight, analyzes what actually happened and what we should have learned from experience.

Michael Lewis (New Orleans, 1960) is a renowned American writer and journalist specialized in economics, finance, and popular culture. Graduated in Art History from Princeton University and with a master's in Economics from the London School of Economics, he worked as a bond trader at Salomon Brothers, an experience he narrated in his first book, Liar’s Poker (1989). Since then, he has published numerous non-fiction works that combine rigorous research with an accessible and engaging narrative

Among his most notable titles are Moneyball: Breaking the Rules (2003), The Blind Side (2006), The Big Short (2010), and Flash Boys: The Wall Street Revolution (2014). Several of these works have been successfully adapted into films, including Moneyball and The Big Short, the latter winning the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. His most recent book, Going Infinite (2023), addresses the rise and fall of Sam Bankman-Fried and the FTX platform. Lewis has been awarded prizes such as the Gerald Loeb Award and was elected a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 2023.
