Barry Ritholtz welcomed Michael Lewis to the North Shore of Long Island for an evening at the Landmark Theater. The event, titled "Michael Lewis Live," featured a 90-minute conversation with the bestselling author and financial journalist. They discussed Lewis's career trajectory, from his early works like "Liar's Poker" to his latest book, "Who Is Government?"
Lewis revealed that the book is a departure from his usual style, as he co-wrote it with six other authors. Despite being less fond of the book tour, he grew to enjoy it, explaining that presenting oneself differently than in writing can be jarring initially, but he eventually grew to appreciate it.
During the live episode, Lewis shared an amusing anecdote about Kamala Harris, who wore a sweatshirt with a controversial slogan, causing a commotion on the "Morning Joe" show. Lewis laughed at the absurdity of the situation, noting that Harris remained steadfast, refusing to remove the shirt despite the backlash.
