I think we, more or less, have a good idea of what and why it happened. The problem seems to be about how we are going to fix it.

Clearly a "tongue in cheek" commentary. Tis a little bit of humour with more than
a smattering of fact.
The guy, Michael Lewis is one of the most lucid writers of the market
you will ever read. "Liars Poker" is a must read and very entertaining.
"Moneyball" is a movie based on his book. Haven't read the book but I'll
be seeing the movie this weekend.
He has the technical understanding along with human insight, that's what makes his
writing so readable.
An excellent example of what's wrong with America
