There's a fascinating excerpt in the April Vanity Fair from The Big Short by Michael Lewis on the staggering success of American investor Michael Burry (pictured above). I haven't read the book yet, but the excerpt offers one of the best descriptions I've read on the bursting of the subprime mortgage bubble in the U.S.
You'll never listen to a financial talking head in quite the same way again.

Linda Diebel is a veteran political reporter who worked across Canada, including on Parliament Hill, and as the Toronto Star's bureau chief in both Washington and Latin America. She has written two books, Betrayed: The Assassination of Digna Ochoa, and Stéphane Dion: Against the Current.
She's been described as "that mean Diebel person" by President George H.W. Bush and someone "with a good head on her shoulders" by Noam Chomsky. They're probably both right.
