We are all aware of the financial crisis that engulfed the economy during 2008. Michael Lewis is the author of several books including Liar's Poker, Moneyball, The Big Short, and Boomerang. He has written two very insightful articles detailing the reasons for the crisis and the ways to repair the system.
Please read "The End of the Financial World as We Know It" and "How to Repair a Broken Financial World." These articles were written in January of 2009. Discuss three (3) things you learned from the articles and share them with your classmates.
In addition to reading the two Lewis articles linked above, please find one other article/video/ etc. on the financial crisis and summarize it for the class. This information can come from articles (use reputable sources--NYT, WSJ, Financial Times, etc.), from videos, news programs, etc. Several sources can be found in the Instructional Materials for Week One.
