    <body><![CDATA[This book wasn't what I was expecting when I bought it.  I was expecting a book solely about the subprime crisis; I got a book about the 1987 stock market crash, the 1997-8 asian currency crisis/LTCM bailout, the dot-com bust AND the subprime crisis.  I was expecting a book written solely by Michael Lewis; I got a book that is a collection of articles written by a number of writers during the times of these panics.  Although it wasn't what I was expecting, it was still very interesting.  Lewis included a number of pre-crisis articles as well to provide context to the times before the crashes.  As Lewis himself said, (paraphrasing) &quot;Anyone can look back in history and say 'this is what happened', but it provides much more information to look at how people felt before and during the crisis.&quot;  By seeing how people felt before and during the crisis, it provides for a learning experience, even for those who weren't involved.]]></body>
