The Big Short Chapter 4: How to Harvest a Migrant Worker
This is the chapter that made me put the book down and stare at the wall for a while. Not because it’s complicated. Because it’s cruel. Chapter 4 is where Michael Lewis shows you the actual human beings getting chewed up by the machine. And the chapter title - “How to Harvest a Migrant Worker” - is not a metaphor. It is literally what happened.
