Those "Stupid Germans," the SEC and Michael Lewis

John Carney, writing today about the players in the Goldman SEC investigation, is not at all the first to reference The Big Short, Michael Lewis’ book about the financial “crisis” (AKA “series of scams”), in light of the Goldman Sachs case. You know, it has been suggested that it’s almost as if the SEC read The Big Short and then went out looking for more examples of the things in the book! In fact it’s almost exactly like that. Who says books aren’t useful?
