10 of the Best Michael Lewis Books<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A few of the best Michael Lewis books have been adapted into box-office hits, including Moneyball<\/em>, The Blind Side<\/em>, and The Big Short<\/em>. Additionally, Netflix has acquired the rights to Flash Boys<\/em> to make it into a feature-length film. If anything, the success of these films and Lewis\u2019s books show that there\u2019s great interest in rags-to-riches stories and even well-crafted narratives about financial history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

To learn about several of the best Michael Lewis books that have received stellar reviews, read below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flash Boys<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Flash Boys<\/em>, Lewis explores high-frequency trading\u2014a poorly-understood threat to your investments, whether you\u2019re investing in a retirement account or day trading. High-frequency trading is electronic trading<\/a> that uses automated computer algorithms to very quickly buy and sell large quantities of stocks, leading to big financial pay-offs\u2014often at the expense of regular investors who can\u2019t trade in microseconds as the algorithms can. Flash Boys<\/em> unpacks high-frequency trading\u2014and Wall Street\u2019s greedy response to it\u2014and details one group of traders\u2019 efforts to protect investors from its tactics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liar\u2019s Poker<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The cynical view of the financial world says that Wall Street is run by a special breed of traders who exploit investors\u2019 collective fear and greed to enrich themselves however they can, without any care for the havoc they might wreak. In Liar\u2019s Poker<\/em>, Lewis backs up this opinion with a first-hand account of the pursuit of ill-gotten riches at the Salomon Brothers investment firm during the 1980s. As a Salomon employee, Lewis took part in its wealth-chasing culture and witnessed the start of its downward spiral. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moneyball<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moneyball: The Art of Winning an Unfair Game <\/em>is the story of the 2002 Oakland Athletics and their general manager, Billy Beane<\/a>. Beane assembles a winning team on a shoestring budget by using an analytical and scientific approach to evaluate each player\u2019s contributions. Although the A\u2019s have many players with atypical physical attributes and unusual hitting or pitching styles, they excel in overlooked statistical categories, such as on-base percentage, that were typically dismissed by baseball traditionalists. This enables Beane to get maximum efficiency from his team, earning wins at a fraction of the price paid by the rest of the league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Big Short<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine<\/em> takes us inside the madness, corruption, and greed at the heart of the 2007-2008 financial crisis. It tells the story of an eccentric collection of investors who saw the folly of the subprime mortgage-backed securities<\/a> market\u2014and found a way to bet against it. By focusing on individuals who saw these worthless securities for what they truly were, The Big Short<\/em> explores the complexities and irrationalities of modern capitalism<\/a>. It forces us to seriously question the wisdom (and motivations) of the financial elites who wield so much power over the economy, society, and politics. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Blind Side<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Michael Lewis\u2019s The Blind Side<\/em> is about a black 15-year-old named Michael Oher from the Memphis inner-city projects who beat the odds to become a football star. This story follows Michael\u2019s journey from his impoverished life with his drug-addicted mother to his adoption by a rich white couple in East Memphis. Through the love of his adoptive family, the kindness of strangers, and some significant events in the NFL, Michael was able to find his path to success<\/a> and became one of the greatest left tackles to play high school and college football in the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Undoing Project<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The human mind is more prone to error than most of us would like to believe. Many of the ways the mind fools itself were discovered by the team of Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky<\/a>, whose research changed how we understand human behavior<\/a>. At a glance, the two psychologists were opposites in personality and style, yet both had an interest in the workings of the mind and a need to undo our most common misperceptions. During Tversky and Kahneman\u2019s intense collaboration, examined in The Undoing Project<\/em>, they identified the mental errors<\/a> that skew our everyday decisions. Their work gave us tools to sharpen our thinking and avoid the unconscious pitfalls of the mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boomerang<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Between 2002 and 2008, cheap credit was a tempting phenomenon that permanently changed the financial status of many countries. Boomerang: Travels in the New Third World<\/em> is more than just a perspective on foreign countries\u2019 dangerous phase in the 2000s\u2014it\u2019s a deep dive into the economic consequences of risky indulgences. Lewis explores these expeditions in cheap financing and how they affected Alaska\u2019s, Germany\u2019s, Greece\u2019s, and Ireland\u2019s society and politics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Losers<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The road to the White House is anything but easy. Becoming President of the United States takes a competitive streak, a tough skin, and a charm that wins voters over. Losers: The Road to Everyplace but the White House<\/em> (originally titled Trail Fever<\/em>) follows the (mostly) Republican candidates of the 1996 United States presidential election as they build a following and make a name for themselves. What Lewis found on the campaign trail were the heroic yet ridiculous efforts to become the most powerful person in America that ended up just making them losers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Real Price of Everything<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Real Price of Everything: Rediscovering the Six Classics of Economics<\/em> is a must-have book for anyone interested in understanding the market and economics. With editorial commentary, Lewis takes a look at six big-name books that explore the history of our economic system. From Adam Smith\u2019s The Wealth of Nations<\/em><\/a> to John Maynard Keynes\u2019s The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money<\/em>, get a behind-the-scenes look at the inner workings of our economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Next: The Future Just Happened<\/em>, Michael Lewis argues that the internet has changed the way people live and think and how they rise to the top of society. More radically, those who now have power aren\u2019t trained or educated professionals with years of experience\u2014they\u2019re often teenagers with a keyboard and a computer. Lewis tells several illustrative stories, including one about a 14-year-old who influenced stock prices in a chat room and another about a rock band that pioneered crowdfunding. Published in 2001, Next<\/em> is a glimpse of the internet\u2019s early impact on modern society\u2019s power structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Final Words<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, Lewis has become a trusted writer that people rely on to tell the truth<\/a>. Each Michael Lewis book makes its subject fascinating and thrilling enough to keep people reading from the first page to the last.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
