I wish Lawrence's team would have mentioned another blockbuster that this author wrote:

"The Big Short"

It is about the 2008 Housing Crises and is much more political than "Money Ball" If you have not seen it - I strongly recommend it. "The Big Short" is one of my favorite movies of all time.

is another great one about high frequency trading and the stock market - how we're all being ripped off and nobody can control it anymore.

I heard Netflix is making it into a movie
