Flash Boys

by Michael Lewis
Flash Boys - Thryft
Flash Boys - Thryft

Exposing Wall Street's high-tech, rigged underbelly.

If you're intrigued by the hidden mechanics of financial markets, "Flash Boys" is an eye-opener. Michael Lewis has a knack for making complex concepts accessible and entertaining. He doesn't just paint a picture of modern trading; he tells a David versus Goliath tale where the protagonists unveil the unsettling truth about high-frequency trading. It's a must-read for anyone curious about the forces shaping our economy from shadows.

  • Financial Times Business Book of the Year Nominee for Longlist (2014)
  • Goodreads Choice Award Nominee for Business Books (2014)
Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
