Michael Burry an Austrian?

March 21, 2010

Vanity Fair recently published an excerpt from Michael Lewis’ new book, “The Big Short”, detailing how hedge fund manager Michael Burry managed to clean up $100 million betting against subprime mortgages.

The article is a must-read for any investor, but what caught my eye was a book I spotted on the photo spread of Michael Burry’s office. Clearly visible in one of the stacks is “America’s Great Depression” by Murray N. Rothbard, the brilliant Austrian economist.
