Travels in the New Third World

Michael Lewis investigates the aftermath of the 2008 global financial crisis and the cheap credit bubble across Europe and the United States. He journeys through Iceland, Greece, Ireland, Germany, and California to reveal how different cultures reacted when flooded with borrowed money. The book provides a witty examination of human nature, fiscal recklessness, and systemic debt in modern economies.
