I watched "The Big Short" last night as part of an assignment in a class on finance I am taking along with 15 other "senior scholars" and I was transfixed by the movie version of the book by Michael Lewis. you can laugh at the Wolf of Wall Street and other movies dealing with finance, but The Big Short exposes the greed and stupidity of the entire system and the belief of these masters of the universe that any mistakes or crimes they commit will be forgiven and the government will ultimately bail out the financial system because it is too big to fail. i urge anyone reading this to watch The Big Short. it makes the phenomenon of tRump all too easy to understand.
