Description

The Big Short: Inside the Doomsday MachineThe crucial question is this: Who understood the risk inherent in the assumption of ever rising real estate prices, a risk compounded daily by the creation of those arcane, artificial securities loosely based on piles of doubtful mortgages? Michael Lewis turns the inquiry on its head to create a fresh, character driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his #1 best selling Liar's Poker. Who got it right? he asks.


The crucial question is this: Who understood the risk inherent in the assumption of ever-rising real estate prices, a risk compounded daily by the creation of those arcane, artificial securities loosely based on piles of doubtful mortgages? Michael Lewis turns the inquiry on its head to create a fresh, character-driven narrative brimming with indignation and dark humor, a fitting sequel to his #1 best-selling Liar's Poker. Who got it right? he asks. Who saw the real estate market for the black hole it would become, and eventually made billions of dollars from that perception? And what qualities of character made those few persist when their peers and colleagues dismissed them as Chicken Littles? Out of this handful of unlikely--really unlikely--heroes, Lewis fashions a story as compelling and unusual as any of his earlier bestsellers, proving yet again that he is the finest and funniest chronicler of our times.

Safe, Comfortable, and Eco-Friendly Summer Sandals for Kids
Searching for the perfect pair of summer sandals for my child can often feel like a daunting task, but the Swalker Children's Soft Jelly Sandals have truly exceeded my expectations in every way. First and foremost, safety is paramount when it comes to children's footwear, and these sandals deliver on all fronts. The closed-toe design provides ample protection against stubbed toes and sharp objects, giving me peace of mind as my little one explores the outdoors. Additionally, the anti-slip sole offers excellent traction on various surfaces, preventing slips and falls even on wet or uneven terrain. Comfort is another crucial factor, especially during long days of play. These sandals feature a soft jelly material that is gentle on my child's feet, eliminating any discomfort or rubbing that can often accompany other types of shoes. The easy-wear design allows my child to slip them on and off effortlessly, promoting independence and convenience for both of us. What sets these sandals apart is their eco-friendly construction. Made from recyclable materials, they not only provide exceptional quality but also contribute to a more sustainable future for our planet—a feature that I greatly appreciate as a conscious consumer and parent. Overall, the Swalker Children's Soft Jelly Sandals are a summer staple for any parent looking to prioritize safety, comfort, and sustainability for their child. With their durable construction and thoughtful design, they have quickly become my go-to choice for warm-weather adventures.

Super soft and adorable!
Size: 9 Toddler, Color: Macaroon
Bought these shoes for my daughter as an alternative to the classic jellies! The are butter soft! She’s been wearing them consistently for weeks now and not a single blister as formed. (Unlike when she wore the classic style ones) I’m even buying my niece a pair for her birthday because she is now jealous! The color is perfect for any outfit or occasion. They can be dressed up or down which makes them the ideal shoe! And of course super easy to clean which is of course a major factor in kids’ shoes!

LOVE these shoes
Size: 8 Toddler, Color: Macaroon
Absoultely LOVE these! So easy to wear for my 3 year old and put on. They are sturdy and could be rinsed off. They were very comfortable for her and left no marks on her skin. Warning to parents, if your kid steps on your foot it hurts like hell because they are like spikes under the shoe. GREAT for traction and running, but man it hurts. I will purchase more next summer. Great price, great fit, and lightweight.
