The Big Short

Yves Smith's criticism of Michael Lewis's The Big Short is brilliant too -- especially his analogy of the guy who looks on the street like a prime candidate for a heart attack, but to his internist all the tests come back normal -- but, without having read The Big Short yet, I still believe that Lewis knew all the stuff Smith brings up. Lewis is playing a dangerous game of lionizing the key good/bad guys. Smith doesn't "get it."
