Michael Lewis
Author Michael Lewis joins Matthew Sweet to discuss his investigative methods and his latest book, which focuses on risk-taking in sport and on Wall Street.
The Big Short, Liar's Poker and Flash Boys expose the culture of Wall Street trading works. The Blind Side, Coach and Moneyball explore the world of sport. For his latest book 'The Undoing Project', Michael Lewis looks at the friendship of two Nobel Prize-winning psychologists, Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky.
