Description
The story of how one reclusive trading prodigy manipulated Wall Street and amassed millions from his childhood bedroom — then short-circuited the global market. A real-life financial thriller, Flash Crash gives panoramic insight into our economic landscape — its weaknesses, its crooks and its exploitable loopholes — and uncovers the remarkable, behind-the-scenes narrative of a mystifying market crash, a globe-spanning investigation into international fraud, and the man — Navinder Singh Sarao — at the centre of it all. Depending on whom you ask, Sarao was a scourge, a symbol of a financial system run horribly amok, or an outsider who took on the tyranny of Wall Street and the high-frequency traders.
For fans of Bad Blood and The Big Short.

‘Not just a readable, pacey account of an extraordinary individual and his quixotic quest … but also a troubling exposé of the fragility of our entire financial system … I loved it’ — Oliver Bullough, author of Moneyland
