Foreign Policy: The Crypto Con Years Aren’t Over Yet — reviews of Michael Lewis, Zeke Faux and Peter Howson

Just out in Foreign Policy is my review of three of the crop of 2023 — Michael Lewis’ Going Infinite, Zeke Faux’s Number Go Up and Peter Howson’s Let Them Eat Crypto. [Foreign Policy, paywalled]

This was written over November and delivered to Foreign Policy in early December. But the paper’s been a little busy with the war in Gaza and so forth. Thankfully it’s still applicable.

($5-and-up patrons got to read the draft version two months ago. The bit about how John Jay Ray turned out right about everything got cut for space, sadly.)

I was also going to do Ben Mackenzie and Jacob Silverman’s Easy Money — but that already got a great Foreign Policy review in November! From the American Enterprise Institute, no less. And I was already coming up to 3,000 words. [Foreign Policy, 2023, paywalled]

 

At least it’s a change from just renders of gold bitcoins.

  1. *psst* the paywall should allow one free article a month, but if you can’t get through there’s always archive dot is.

  2. A document by SBF about “random probably bad ideas” for improving his image includes

    11) Have Michael Lewis interview me on e.g. ABC

    (Robert Evans on Xitter)

    So, it sounds like you’re not alone in think that Michael Lewis is an asset for SBF…
