Ten of the best books about Big Money

At the Independent, Samuel Muston complied a list of ten of "the finest - and most readable - books about Big Money," including:

THE BIG SHORT BY MICHAEL LEWIS

From the man who wrote Liar's Poker comes the tale of the misfit investors who bet against the grain, shorting the Noughties sub-prime bubble and making vast fortunes from the financial crisis to boot.
