Finished it. Wow. Some good wisdom and insight. A lot of direct parallels to what we're all doing w/ btc etc. My favorite quote was "Where everybody worked with their hands, a man was judged by who he was, not by what he did." Yes. Character is everything.

Also was heartening to read that, for 2 decades(!) he tried to share his understanding to little avail. Until the journalist spiced up the story. (Which ties into my idea of pitching Michael Lewis a story that intersects BTC and women fleeing war and oppression - novel then turned screenplay). My pitch can be found a few quick scrolls down my profile...

I'll drop a web-readable version of a similarly themed short story that has stuck with me... The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas...
