'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 For fans of Bad Blood and The Big Short , 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 a folk an outsider who took on the tyranny of Wall Street and the high-frequency traders.
