“Michael Lewis has chosen more than fifty pieces of brilliant journalism for this anthology to illuminate the costliest upheavals in recent financial history, including the current subprime mortgage disaster. Featuring the best financial writing of the time, and new pieces by Lewis himself, Panic delves into all aspects of each crisis, showing what people thought was happening at the time and, with the luxury of hindsight, what actually happened. As proved by Liars Poker and Moneyball, Lewis is without peer in his understanding of market forces and human foibles. He is also, arguably, the funniest serious writer in America.”
