Boomerang: Travels in the New Third WorldRead about another book on the list.
by Michael Lewis
The most consistent thing about predictions is that most of them turn out to be quite wrong. Yet there are always a few outliers who manage to spot tomorrow's reality while others are looking at a mirage. In his book The Big Short and in this globe-trotting followup, Michael Lewis anatomizes the global misreading of the blossoming financial crisis -- and spends time with those few people whose clairvoyance has proven, tragically, to have been accurate.
