Michael Lewis is one of the most influential nonfiction authors of our time, known for turning complex topics - finance, economics, data, and human behavior-into gripping narratives. With a career spanning over three decades, Lewis has written multiple international bestsellers including Liar’s Poker, Moneyball, The Big Short, Flash Boys, and The Premonition. His books often explore the interface of risk, incentives, systems failure, and personal decision-making, and have reshaped how millions view markets, sports, government, and technology.
A graduate of Princeton University and the London School of Economics, Lewis began his career as a bond salesman at Salomon Brothers before pivoting to journalism. He has since contributed to The New York Times Magazine, Vanity Fair, Bloomberg, and The New Republic, becoming known for his narrative storytelling and investigative insight.
Lewis’s work has frequently been adapted for film and television, with Moneyball and The Big Short earning multiple Academy Award nominations. His ability to humanize the consequences of structural flaws - whether in Wall Street, public health, or sports scouting - has earned him global recognition.
As a speaker, Lewis captivates audiences by combining economic intelligence with vivid storytelling. He’s been invited to speak at global investment firms, business schools, public policy forums, and leadership retreats. He challenges conventional wisdom, provokes deeper thinking, and makes seemingly dry subjects both accessible and urgent.
Michael Lewis continues to explore new territory - addressing public trust, institutional breakdowns, and the people behind the scenes who make the world work or fall apart. His latest work, Going Infinite, dives into the rise and collapse of FTX and Sam Bankman-Fried.
Lewis is not just an author—he is a cultural decoder who helps people understand how the world really works.
