The real crash, the silent crash, had taken place over the previous year, in bizarre feeder markets where the sun doesn't shine and the SEC doesn't dare, or bother, to tread. 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? In this fitting sequel to \u003cem\u003eLiar's Poker\u003c\/em\u003e, Michael Lewis answers that question in a narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"W.
