He has written several books including the New York Times bestsellers Liar's Poker, widely considered the book that defined Wall Street during the 1980s, Boomerang and The Big Short, 'probably the single best piece of financial journalism ever written' (Reuters). Michael Lewis was born in New Orleans and educated at Princeton University and the London School of Economics.
You won't believe it until you've read it. And it's about the madness that has taken hold of the financial markets today. It's the story of what it's like to declare war on some of the richest and most powerful people in the world. In Flash Boys, Michael Lewis tells the explosive story of how one group of ingenious oddballs and misfits set out to expose what was going on. This is a market that's rigged, out of control and out of sight a market in which the chief need is for speed and in which traders would sell their grandmothers for a microsecond. And the very few who do aren't about to tell - because they're making a killing. Even the experts entrusted with your cash don't know what's happening to it. Now, the world's money is traded by computer code, inside black boxes in heavily guarded buildings. If you thought Wall Street was about alpha males standing in trading pits hollering at each other, think again. Michael Lewis, the Master of the Big Story, is back with Flash Boys.
