Description

The laugh-out-loud tale of Europe in meltdown, from the phenomenal bestselling author Right now, Europe is in serious financial chaos. In Greece, infrastructure costs mean it would be cheaper to transport all Greek rail passengers by taxi, and hairdressing is classified as arduous for tax avoidance purposes. In Iceland, Range Rovers frequently explode as owners collect the insurance to pay for them. Ireland saw the entire country put up for sale - to itself, while the Germans expected the whole world to behave like them. But the whole world didn't. In this hilarious, fascinating, timely must-read, Michael Lewis reveals the true natures of the countries caught up in - and exacerbating - our boomerang economies. 'Desperately funny' Daily Telegraph 'Top form' Spectator 'Fascinating' The New York Times 'Hilarious' Irish Independent Review

Michael Lewis was born in New Orleans and educated at Princeton University and the London School of Economics.

Lewis is contributing writer for The New York Times Magazine and writes for Vanity Fair and Portfolio magazine.
