... that's what this Michael Lewis column is going to do to a lot of people. I link to it simply because the views it expresses are so utterly unfashionable: A Wall Street Trader Draws Some Subprime Lessons.
Frank, is it meant o offend? ... or to amuse? ..... I have to admit difficulty in deciding, especially as Lewis' column nears the end ..... at first, i find myself thinking there's something serious, here, for all of us to learn ..... but, when I finish, I feel more like having just finished one of Dave Barry's columns, rather than than Michael Lewsis'
I am assuming it's meant as a joke, but I have learned that many people lack a sense of humor on such matters. Who was it who said, "I've been rich, and I've been poor. Rich is better."?

ReplyDeleteIsn't it obvious that it's satire, like Jonathan Swift's "A Modest Proposal"?
ReplyDeleteI think so. I also think it's very funny.
