For more than thirty years, Michael Lewis has shown us how money and power really work. He joins live in London to explore a life and career as one of America’s most important storytellers.

‘I read Michael Lewis for the same reasons I watch Tiger Woods. I’ll never play like that. But it’s good to be reminded every now and again what genius looks like’ – Malcolm Gladwell

The author of The Big Short, Moneyball and Flash Boys, Michael Lewis has lifted the lid on the biggest stories of our time. He’s exposed the inner workings of high finance, baseball and the 2016 presidential campaign. His work has been translated from the page to the screen with A-listers from Brad Pitt to Margot Robbie to Barack and Michelle Obama all clamouring to be involved.

Now he joins us live on stage in London for a conversation with The New Yorker’s Sam Knight. He share stories from a lifetime of behind-the-scenes access to the people and places that define our age – from the dizzying excesses of Wall Street under Reagan to the hollowing out of the Federal Government under Trump. And he’ll reveal his insights into the present moment, telling and the story of the maverick scientists who predicted the pandemic – the subject of his latest book, The Premonition.

It’s an unmissable chance to hear from one of the greatest storytellers of our age.
