Counting Cards on Wall Street
Are the markets rigged? Is the system a con? The disturbing truth about how the public is being gamed.
John Zmirak
The intrepid investigative journalist and author Michael Lewis is burning up the headlines and sparking shouting matches on financial TV programs with his new book Flash Boys: A Wall Street Revolt. In it, Lewis addresses the sneaking suspicion that many Americans have about the stock market: that it is rigged, that certain insiders have access to information that lets them get rich at the expense of everyone else. And Lewis’ verdict is: Guilty as Charged.
