Books by Michael Lewis

From the beginning of 2020, countries worldwide have started taking action to prevent the spread of the novel Coronavirus. In addition to fighting against the disease, U.S. medical experts had to fight against the government’s and the CDC’s denial that COVID-19 poses a threat to American society. ‘’The Premonition’’ reveals what a small group of brilliant, extraordinarily dedicated, and conscientious people could have done to help the country respond to the COVID-19 pandemic better if they had support from the Trump administration and the CDC.

Michael Lewis describes in “Moneyball” how Billy Beane’s evidence-based approach to assembling a baseball team outperformed squads that invest almost four times more money. Employing sabermetric analysis when choosing drafted players defied conventional baseball wisdom at the time and revolutionized the game.

Michael Lewis’ “The Fifth Risk” offers a brilliant account of Trump’s troubled transition and political appointments during his first years of presidency. Exploring the different ways the U.S. government handles risks, and Trump’s ignorant approach to the work and importance of various federal agencies, Lewis reveals the consequences of the mismanagement and its effect on the people and the entire political system.
