{"product_id":"9780141043159","title":"The Greatest Trade Ever : How One Man Bet Against the Markets and Made $20 Billion by Gregory Zuckerman","description":"The definitive account of a sensational trade' Michael Lewis, author of The Big ShortAutumn 2008. The world's finances collapse but one man makes a killing.   John Paulson, a softly spoken hedge-fund manager who still took the bus to work, seemed unlikely to stake his career on one big gamble. But he did - and The Greatest Trade Ever is the story of how he realised that the sub-prime housing bubble was going to burst, making $15 Billion for his fund and more than $4 Billion for himself in a single year. It's a tale of folly and wizardry, individual brilliance versus institutional stupidity.   John Paulson made the biggest winning bet in history. And this is how he did it.
