📌 Join our book club community
------
📚 Join us for the fifth book in our Economics Series: The Big Short by Michael Lewis. This gripping narrative takes us inside the lead-up to the 2008 financial crisis, following the investors who saw it coming—and bet against the system.
Don’t have time to read the book?
No worries—watching the film adaptation (starring Steve Carell, Christian Bale, and Ryan Gosling) is a great way to follow along and still join the discussion.
☕️ Settle in/Get your coffee (1.30 PM - 1.45 PM)
📚 Book discussion (1.45 PM - 4 PM)
🍷 Optional Happy Hour (4:00 PM - 5:30 PM)
How Our Book Club Works:
We read the book before the discussion session and come prepared with our ideas and perspectives
Our discussions are moderated with thoughtful prompts (which will be shared a few days before the meeting)
Reading the complete book is recommended, but if you can't finish it, you can supplement with podcast discussions featuring the author.
First-timers are always welcome!
