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.
