Michael Lewis has been a favorite of mine since "Liars' Poker"
Some might object that he lets the banksters off the hook by pointing out how bloody stupid they are. But he HAS a point--for all their brash arrogance, the folks on Wall Street are a bunch of thieves because they lack the talent to do something useful. Try imagining Lehman Brothers mega-crook Dick Fuld designing a wind turbine gear box or something equally difficult and you can understand what Lewis is talking about. (Sorry about the Lipitor ads but this IS CBS)
