"We fed the monster until it blew up ..."While Wall Street was busy creating the biggest credit bubble of all time, a few renegade investors saw it was about to burst, bet against the banking system - and made a fortune. From the jungles of the trading floor to the casinos of Las Vegas, this is the outrageous story of the misfits, mavericks and geniuses who, against all odds, made the greatest financial killing in history. 20年前，迈克尔·刘易斯的成名作《说谎者的扑克牌》被公认为描写20世纪80年代华尔街的“教科书”，对美国商业文化产生了重大的影响。20年后，华尔街翻天覆地的闹剧之中，刘易斯照旧洞见烛微，以个人视角重现华尔街上演的市场传奇和诡谲道德剧。 一场金融危机，给一向声名远播的华尔街难以想象的重创，然而，在一片狼藉之中，却有一些藉藉无名之辈早已看出市场的漏洞，在众人疯狂的时候做空市场，最终赚得丰厚利润。
