In Michael Lewis's game-changing bestseller, a small group of Wall Street iconoclasts realize that the U.S. stock market has been rigged for the benefit of insiders. They band together―some of them walking away from seven-figure salaries―to investigate, expose, and reform the insidious 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.
Editorial Reviews
"Guaranteed to make blood boil." ―Janet Maslin, New York Times

“Important to public debate about Wall Street… in exposing what one of his central characters calls the ‘Pandora’s box of ridiculousness’ that financial exchanges have become.” ―Philip Delves Broughton, Wall Street Journal
“Reads like a thriller . . . Lewis is the kind of writer who creates his own weather system.” ―John Lanchester, London Review of Books
“Remarkable… Michael Lewis has a spellbinding talent for finding emotional dramas in complex, highly technical subjects.” ―Financial Times
