Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt
— See Michael Lewis on “60 Minutes,” Sunday, March 30, Stock Market Rigged
— Excerpt, New York Times Sunday Magazine, April 6, The Wolf Hunters of Wall Street — NPR, Stock Market Rigged, says Michael Lewis, March 31 — Forbes, Michael Lewis is about to Disrupt the Politics of High Speed Trading, March 29 — Bloomberg BusinessWeek, High Speed Traders Rip Off Investors, Lewis says, March 31 Four years after his #1 bestseller The Big Short, MICHAEL LEWIS returns to Wall Street to report on a high-tech predator stalking the equity markets.
Flash Boys is about a small group of Wall Street guys who figure out that the U.S. stock market has been rigged for the benefit of insiders and that, post–financial crisis, the markets have become not more free but less, and more controlled by the big Wall Street banks. Working at different firms, they come to this realization separately; but after they discover one another, the flash boys band together and set out to reform the financial markets. This they do by creating an exchange in which high-frequency trading—source of the most intractable problems—will have no advantage whatsoever.
