The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday Machine is a nonfiction book by Michael Lewis about the build-up of the United States housing bubble during the 2000s. It was released on March 15, 2010, by W. W. Norton & Company. It spent 28 weeks on The New York Times best-seller list, and was the basis for the 2015 film of the same name.
Everybody loves this Michael Lewis guy; this was the first of his I read (though Moneyball is up soon, Dr. Craig!). A very good explanation of the shenanigans behind the massive collapse of 2008. Wow.
