Michael Lewis' latest book is The Big Short, the story of several people who saw through the myths of subprime mortgages.
Tabitha SorenMichael Lewis' non-fiction writing has had some pretty dramatic effects: His first book, Liar's Poker, is credited with helping bring down the head of Salomon Brothers investment bank in the 1980s.
