He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Art History from Princeton and a Master’s degree in Economics from the London School of Economics. Lewis grew up in New Orleans and remains deeply interested and involved in the city. He has filmed and narrated short pieces for ABC-TV’s Nightline created and presented a four-part documentary on the social consequences of the internet for the BBC and recorded stories for the American public radio show, This American Life. He has served as editor and columnist for the British weekly The Spectator and as Senior Editor and campaign correspondent for The New Republic. His articles have also appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, Gourmet, Slate, Sports Illustrated, Foreign Affairs, and Poetry Magazine. Lewis is a columnist for Bloomberg News and a contributing writer to Vanity Fair. His other works include The New New Thing, about Silicon Valley during the Internet boom Coach, about the transformative powers of his own high school baseball coach Losers, about the 1996 Presidential campaign and Liar’s Poker, a Wall Street story based in part on his own experience working as a bond salesman for Salomon Brothers. Two of his most popular releases, The Big Short and Boomerang, are narratives set in the global financial crisis. Both of his books about sports became Oscar-nominated films. Before that, Lewis wrote Moneyball, a book ostensibly about baseball but also about the way markets value people. In The Blind Side, published in 2006, Lewis tells the story of NFL Offensive Tackle Michael Oher, and how his life is transformed from being a teen living on the streets of Memphis after he is adopted by white Evangelical Christians. The story reveals how the legal-but highly questionable-practice of high-frequency trading (HFT) has allowed certain Wall Street players to work the stock market to their advantage. His previous book, the NYT #1 best-seller Flash Boys, took the financial market and business world by storm upon its release in March 2014. In keeping with his unparalleled ability to tell stories about "quirky individuals who zig when everyone else zags" (as The New York Times puts it), the book dives deep into the world of Daniel Kahneman decision making and human errors in judgment. In December 2016, Lewis released The Undoing Project: A Friendship that Changed Our Minds. With so much at stake, Lewis seeks out the (former) linchpins of the system-those public servants whose knowledge, dedication, and proactivity kept the machinery running for so many years-and asks them what keeps them up at night. The Trump Administration has notoriously failed to fill vacancies in some of the most important positions in crucial government agencies like the Departments of Agriculture, Energy, and Commerce. Lewis‘s newest book, The Fifth Risk: Undoing Democracy, was released in October 2018 and examines a government in crisis. Financial journalist and New York Times best-selling author Michael Lewis has published sixteen books on subjects ranging from politics to Wall Street.
