What this book is about
Michael Lewis's celebrated 2003 non-fiction book follows Billy Beane and the Oakland Athletics as they use statistical analysis — sabermetrics — to compete against teams with far larger payrolls. The book is both a compelling story about a specific baseball team and a broader argument about how markets misprice talent and why unconventional thinkers challenge institutions. Lewis is a master of the explanatory narrative, and the book is accessible to readers with no prior baseball knowledge. Clean, family-friendly content.
