Synopsis "Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt "

"Guaranteed to make blood boil." --Janet Maslin, New York TimesIn Michael Lewis's game-changing bestseller, a small group of Wall Street iconoclasts realize that the U.S. stock market has been rigged for the benefit of insiders. They band together--some of them walking away from seven-figure salaries--to investigate, expose, and reform the insidious new ways that Wall Street generates profits. If you have any contact with the market, even a retirement account, this story is happening to you.

Graduated in Art History from Princeton University and with a master's in Economics from the London School of Economics, he worked as a bond trader at Salomon Brothers, an experience he narrated in his first book, Liar’s Poker (1989). Since then, he has published numerous non-fiction works that combine rigorous research with an accessible and engaging narrative

Among his most notable titles are Moneyball: Breaking the Rules (2003), The Blind Side (2006), The Big Short (2010), and Flash Boys: The Wall Street Revolution (2014). Several of these works have been successfully adapted into films, including Moneyball and The Big Short, the latter winning the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay.
