An interesting piece written by Michael Lewis who wrote another book called "Liar's Poker" about how a 27 year old hotshot on wall street (him) used to (secretly)marvel at how he could complain about being underpaid at $275,000/year. I agree that his new book about how one man could go in and shake up the establishment if he had the money, and the guts, and the connections to pull it off. Oh yes, he also had to have the ideas <G>. I think it is important to be an outsider and not part of the old boys establishment. Son's Korean heritage may have put him in that position. I suspect that Lewis did not know about Son when he set out to write that book. Or perhaps it is a cultural thing. In any case, knowing about Lewis's attitude, I suspect that he would appreciate Son and Softbank and who knows, perhaps he is the one to write the book on Son as well.
