As a Real Estate Broke-er whose livlihood has been absolutely DESTROYED by the vermin in my profession, I am simultaneously thrilled and outraged at this magnificent manuscript! From "Liar Lenders", to the "Fraud-In-Bond-Raters", on to the "Credit Default Swapers" and every single step along the path, I am thrilled to finally have a complete understanding of what happended to my livihood, the entire economy, and to my beloved Country for which I have risked my very life in war to defend. I am outraged at the mortal wounding of all three by cetrtain gangs of CRIMINAL THUGS ranging from SOCIOPATHIC loan brokers; FRAUDULENT security 'device' creators, BOGUS BOND RATERS, and Wall Street Garbage peddlers; and last but not least the legions of EVIL POLITICIANS, GOVERNMENT BUREACRATS, and IMPOTENT REGULATORS. THE BIG SHORT busts them all for the world to see. Names, dates, places, and crimes are all described in easy to read and understand manner. The author has achieved a monumental accomplishment in transfoming an extremely mundane and confusing series of issues and events into a form that can be understood by anyone over age 12 who really wants to know what the hell just happened. Buy this book, NOW, and read every word. If need be, read it twice - I will! I am proud to be one of the few Real 'Estate Brokers who did NOT A SINGLE Sub-Prime Loan. Even though I an close to broke, 64 years old, and very devasted regarding my own future and that of the USA, I understand now who the bad guys are, what they did, and where they live! If there is no justice on earth, then the volume of BAD KARMA generated by these peole whose consiences are "good as new since they are still in the wrapper", will haunt and punish them for a million life times for what they have done. May God forgive because I will not!Read full review

Written in easy understandable terms, this book gives you a look into the greed and corruption on Wall Street. When I was finished reading I wanted to email the author and ask "What can I do?".
Half way in, way over my head, but informative. Well written
