Top 3 Episodes of 2022 - #2 Michael Lewis (Bestselling Author of ‘The Big Short’, ‘Liar’s Poker’ & ‘Moneyball’)

Top 3 Episodes of 2022 - #2 Michael Lewis (Bestselling Author of ‘The Big Short’, ‘Liar’s Poker’ & ‘Moneyball’)

To celebrate the three year anniversary of the Money Maze Podcast we’re pleased to be re-sharing our the top 3 most listened to episodes of 2022!

Today we have a different conversation. Michael Lewis and Simon Brewer go back to graduating from the LSE in 1985, when they were both seeking a place on the fabled Salomon Brothers training programme. Michael’s success in securing that job allowed the world to have the enduring classic, ‘Liar’s Poker’, and from there to write 16 best sellers (three of which have been made into major Hollywood films).

His new book, ‘Premonition: A Pandemic Story’, tells the enthralling tale of the US pandemic preparations that started under President Bush, but which failed when COVID-19 struck, thanks to a mixture of institutional and political failings.

Michael brings the cumulative missteps to life by narrating the story of the real people involved, their extraordinary decisions, and what went wrong.

He continues this fascinating conversation by discussing two of his other books, ‘The Undoing Project’, and ‘Moneyball’, and explains how decision making is driven by varying degrees of data and/or human interactions - from sport to finance – resulting in unpredictable consequences. Originally released in May 2022.
