Histoire
What happens when the President of the United States governs one Tweet at a time? When the elected leader of the free world may not have a firm grasp on the names of government agencies, much less an understanding of their intricate inner-workings? In the days following the 2016 inauguration, government personnel searched for answers that didn’t exist, while White House staff scoured halls for employees who would never be appointed.

Histoire
When Michael Lewis first met him, Sam Bankman-Fried was the world’s youngest billionaire and crypto’s Gatsby. CEOs, celebrities, and leaders of small countries all vied for his time and cash after he catapulted, practically overnight, onto the Forbes billionaire list. Who was this rumpled guy in cargo shorts and limp white socks, whose eyes twitched across Zoom meetings as he played video games on the side? In Going Infinite Lewis sets out to answer this question, taking listeners into the mind of Bankman-Fried.

Histoire
In 1986, before Michael Lewis became the best-selling author of The Big Short, Moneyball, and Flash Boys, he landed a job at Salomon Brothers, one of Wall Street’s premier investment firms. During the next three years, Lewis rose from callow trainee to New York- and London-based bond salesman, raking in millions for the firm and cashing in on a modern-day gold rush. Liar’s Poker is the culmination of those heady, frenzied years - a behind-the-scenes look at a unique and turbulent time in American business.

Michael Lewis turns the inquiry on its head to create a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his number-one best-selling Liar’s Poker.

Histoire
The tsunami of cheap credit that rolled across the planet between 2002 and 2008 was more than a simple financial phenomenon: it was temptation, offering entire societies the chance to reveal aspects of their characters they could not normally afford to indulge. The Greeks wanted to turn their country into a pinata stuffed with cash and allow as many citizens as possible to take a whack at it. The Germans wanted to be even more German; the Irish wanted to stop being Irish.

Histoire
Forty years ago Israeli psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky wrote a series of breathtakingly original studies undoing our assumptions about the decision-making process. Their papers showed the ways in which the human mind erred systematically when forced to make judgments about uncertain situations. Their work created the field of behavioral economics, revolutionized Big Data studies, advanced evidence-based medicine, led to a new approach to government regulation, and made Michael Lewis' work possible.

I Hate the Ivy League: Riffs and Rants on Elite Education, upends the traditional thinking around how education should work and tries to get to the bottom of why we often reward the wrong people.

As best-selling author Charles Wheelan shows us in Naked Statistics, the right data and a few well-chosen statistical tools can help us answer these questions and more.

Histoire
There was a turning point in Michael Lewis' life, in a baseball game when he was 14 years old. The irascible and often terrifying Coach Fitz put the ball in his hand with the game on the line and managed to convey such confident trust in Lewis's ability that the boy had no choice but to live up to it. "I didn't have words for it then, but I do now: I am about to show the world, and myself, what I can do."

Description
For those who could read between the lines, the censored news out of China was terrifying. But the president insisted there was nothing to worry about.
Fortunately, we are still a nation of skeptics. Fortunately, there are those among us who study pandemics and are willing to look unflinchingly at worst-case scenarios. Michael Lewis’ taut and brilliant nonfiction thriller pits a band of medical visionaries against the wall of ignorance that was the official response of the Trump administration to the outbreak of COVID-19.
The characters you will meet in this audiobook are as fascinating as they are unexpected. A 13-year-old girl’s science project on transmission of an airborne pathogen develops into a very grown-up model of disease control. A local public-health officer uses her worm’s-eye view to see what the CDC misses and reveals great truths about American society. A secret team of dissenting doctors, nicknamed the Wolverines, has everything necessary to fight the pandemic: brilliant backgrounds, world-class labs, prior experience with the pandemic scares of bird flu and swine flu...everything, that is, except official permission to implement their work.
Michael Lewis is not shy about calling these people heroes for their refusal to follow directives that they know to be based on misinformation and bad science. Even the internet, as crucial as it is to their exchange of ideas, poses a risk to them. They never know for sure who else might be listening in.
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Poor narration
The story and the characters are great, and typical of the excellent work that Michael Lewis does (I have read or listened to 6 or more of his books). However, I almost turned this audiobook back in because of the narration. The odd mispronunciation is OK, but the recording director should be able to catch and fix them. Of much greater irritation was the actual "voice" of the narrator: too gushy, uneven, with a curious lilt and strange emphasis that is reminiscent of "valley speak." It took me several less-than-enjoyable hours to adjust to it. Accordingly, I cannot recommend the audiobook to anyone.

Why is Michael Lewis not reading his own work?
For fans of Mr. Lewis's excellent podcast "Against the Rules" it will come as a disappointment too learn that he is not the reader of his own work. While his prowess as one of the greatest living non fiction writer is never in doubt in his most current endeavor one can't help but wonder what might have been if only we could have heard his inflection and intonation as well as his words this time around.

Disappointing
I read almost everything Michael Lewis writes, and looked forward to listening to this Audible product. It let me down in two ways - the story on its own is a repetitive, sad tale of complete mismanagement and personal agenda trumping community good - and, the execution of the book, I found it complicated, tiring to listen to, and did not enjoy the choice of narrator. I was looking forward to hearing Michael Lewis, and was expecting that voice - I tried.....maybe this is one of those things that is better enjoyed as a book versus a listen.

Alternate title, How the CDC failed us all
Fabulous piece of investigative journalism.
Two things that I got from this book.
One, that there are still heroes out there, that place the truth as more important than themselves .
Two, that absolute power, continues to corrupt absolutely.
Once the American government fails, this work will be cited in lessons as to how not to run a civil beurocracy.
Well done Michael.

Michael Lewis has once again told a story with mastery! What starts as several independent stories converge during the biggest crisis of our time. It is shocking to learn of the behind the scenes details of the COVID 19 global pandemic. It makes me thankful for the brave and courageous people who spoke up and took action!
