Summary:  "Flash Boys -- small group of Wall Street guys who figure out that the U.S. stock market has been rigged for the benefit of insiders. 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. Several of the Flash Boys have walked away from jobs in the financial sector that paid them millions of dollars a year. From their new vantage point they investigate the big banks, the world's stock exchanges, and high-frequency trading firms as they have never been investigated, and expose the many strange 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. The Flash Boys have perceived an institutionalized injustice and are willing to go to war to fix it"--Provided by publisher.
