See Michael Lewis's The Big Short; Terry Eagleton's The Meaning of Life\u00bfA Very Short Introduction; The Book of Job; and my own forthcoming The Mottled Swan. One counterintuitive point made by Lewis is that the earliest signs of mortgage-industry troubles concerned the problem of early loan repayment (and loss of interest via frequent remortgaging) rather than the subsequent spate of nonpayments of overgenerous subprime loans. Economics remains the dismal science even more so given the miserable faces of those whose Nobel-winning equations proved so unhelpful in the wrong hands. Don Arley's Predictably Irrational offers further insights into the limits of formal games theory in a marketplace peopled by gullible gamblers all using the same software.
