Michael Lewis is an American non-fiction writer and financial journalist. He is the author of many best-selling books, several of which have been copyrighted and published by Alpha Books such as The Big Short, Boomerang, and Flash Boys. The book “Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt” revolves around three characters: Brad Katsuyama, Ronan Ryan, and John Schwall. Each has a different background and performs a different job, but all are concerned with the financial markets on Wall Street. Brad Katsuyama is a bank employee who wondered why the stock prices on his screen disappeared so quickly that he could not buy them in time. Or Ronan Ryan, who was astonished by the fees that investment funds and banks paid him just to build a telecommunications system. Or John Schwall, who discovered the computer trading system designed to serve investors. The book presents sharp arguments and important questions about healthy competition in the Wall Street stock market, which has constantly been questioned about ethical practices after the 2008 financial crisis. Respectfully introduced to readers! |
