Michael Lewis’s new book about the financial crisis, “The Big Short,” goes on sale 15 March 2010.  In the past, I have posted links on this blog to Michael Lewis articles.

Two very positive reviews of this book have just come out:

On 12 March 2010, Felix Salmon of Reuters concludes, “There aren’t many reasons to be happy about the global financial crisis, but here’s one: that it brought Michael Lewis back to his roots, to produce what is probably the single best piece of financial journalism ever written.”

On 14 March 2010, Steven Pearlstein in the Washington Post writes, “If you read only one book about the causes of the recent financial crisis, let it be Michael Lewis’s, ‘The Big Short.’ ”

On 14 March 2010, CBS’s “60 Minutes” aired “Inside the Collapse”.

on 15 March 2010, Peter Lattman wrote in the WSJ’s Deal Journal, Michael Lewis’s ‘The Big Short’? Read the Harvard Thesis Instead! in which he tells about the Harvard undergrad (Anna Katherine Barnett-Hart) who wrote The Story of the CDO Meltdown, the honors thesis which inspired Michael Lewis.

I have already pre-ordered the Lewis book and downloaded the Barnett-Hart thesis.
