Description
The world of high finance has changed dramatically since the days of trading pits and shouting traders. Today, the money is traded by computer code, hidden from view in heavily guarded buildings. Even those who are supposed to be in control don't always know what's happening to the money they manage. This is a market that is fast, secretive and often ruthless, where the need for speed is paramount and traders will do just about anything to get ahead. In "Flash Boys", Michael Lewis tells the story of a group of individuals who set out to expose the truth about this market. They are a group of outsiders who are determined to take on the powerful and wealthy individuals who control the system. Their quest is not just about uncovering the truth, but also about challenging the entire system and the madness that has taken hold of the financial markets. The result is a story that is both shocking and thought-provoking, revealing the inner workings of a market that is often out of sight and out of control.
