Michael Lewis on Stock Market Overconfid...

The Motley Fool
About this episode

One sign of a true expert is they often say “I don’t know”.

Best-selling author Michael Lewis wrote classics like The Big Short, Liar's Poker, and Moneyball. He also hosts the podcast Against The Rules. Chris Hill talked with Lewis last year for an episode we published on May 20, 2022. Due to time constraints we had to leave some parts of the conversation out of that episode, so we're bringing them to you now! Hill and Lewis discuss: - Unintended consequences of Moneyball - Why single men fare worse in the stock market - How Iceland responded to the Great Recession - How to spot true experts
