For the record: Michael Lewis is a vastly better writer than Matt Taibi. He's gotten several books out of financial shenanigans, and all of them are great. I've read (and enjoyed):

- Liar's Poker (his memoir of being at Solomon Brothers as it crashed)

- The Big Short (about exactly this)

- Boomerang (about the aftermath of exactly this)

- Flash Boys (about high frequency trading)

Oddly enough, I've yet to read Moneyball.
