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. Icelanders wanted to stop fishing and become investment bankers. 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. Michael Lewis's investigation of bubbles beyond our shores is so brilliantly, sadly hilarious that it leads the American reader to a comfortable complacency: oh, those foolish foreigners. But when he turns a merciless eye on California and Washington, DC, we see that the narrative is a trap baited with humor, and we understand the reckoning that awaits the greatest and greediest of debtor nations.

Commerzbank executives had taken him there to show him how, in full view of the world below, he could shit on Deutsche Bank.

Other countries used foreign money to fuel various forms of insanity. The Germans, through their bankers, used their own money to enable foreigners to behave insanely.

that was the biggest American financial lesson that the Icelanders took to heart: the importance of buying as many assets as possible with borrowed money, as asset prices only rose.

I never had any respect for bankers. To this day, one of my favorite phrases is: never trust a banker.

In Greece the banks didn't sink the country. The country sank the banks.

"You have to understand," he told me, "Iceland is no longer of country. It is a hedge fund."
