Description
The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday MachineThe crucial question is this: Who understood the risk inherent in the assumption of ever rising real estate prices, a risk compounded daily by the creation of those arcane, artificial securities loosely based on piles of doubtful mortgages? Michael Lewis turns the inquiry on its head to create a fresh, character driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his #1 best selling Liar's Poker. Who got it right? he asks.
The crucial question is this: Who understood the risk inherent in the assumption of ever-rising real estate prices, a risk compounded daily by the creation of those arcane, artificial securities loosely based on piles of doubtful mortgages? Michael Lewis turns the inquiry on its head to create a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his #1 best-selling Liar's Poker. Who got it right? he asks. Who saw the real estate market for the black hole it would become, and eventually made billions of dollars from that perception? And what qualities of character made those few persist when their peers and colleagues dismissed them as Chicken Littles? Out of this handful of unlikely--really unlikely--heroes, Lewis fashions a story as compelling and unusual as any of his earlier bestsellers, proving yet again that he is the finest and funniest chronicler of our times.

Overall it's a great body wash
Love the size of the bottle for the price. Smell reminds me of going to the beach. I saw other review where they said it wasn't sudsy but that is not the case for me. Very sudsy once you add a little water and massage it into loufa before applying to skin. I use this as face wash as well and it has cleared up acne quicker than any other product I've used but it could just be my skin type. Love how soft my skin feels all day long.
