Here’s another podcast we think you’ll enjoy, The Big Short Companion from Against the Rules, hosted by bestselling author Michael Lewis. Lewis’ popular book The Big Short is 15 years old, and to mark the occasion, Lewis is looking back on how the 2008 financial crisis still affects the world today. Investor Michael Burry was one of the first to see the subprime housing market crisis coming, and now, he’s back in the headlines, this time for betting against a very different kind of boom: he’s taken short positions in tech titans Nvidia and Palantir. In this episode, Michael Lewis sits down with Burry for a rare interview.
