Boomerang - international edition

This is the shocking story of how a continent succumbed to temptation and took leave of its senses. Greek monks became playboy financiers. Icelandic fishermen became investment bankers. And Germans became even more German. Then, the money ran out. In this tragicomic romp across Europe, Michael Lewis sets out to uncover what happens when the greed of entire nations comes back to bite them. What he finds is stranger and more compelling than fiction.

"Boomerang" is the ultimate book for our times. It's time to brace ourselves for impact. And, with Michael Lewis, to laugh out loud while we're doing it.
