{"product_id":"trading-beyond-understanding-christian-borch-9781503645523","title":"Trading Beyond Understanding: Machine Learning, Risk, and Markets","description":"\u003cp\u003eMachine learning is fundamentally transforming financial markets. Where trading strategies were once crafted by human experts-executed manually or through pre-coded rules-firms now build models that generate the strategies themselves. These are not just tools but trading automatons: semi-independent systems designed to learn from markets and act on their own. Drawing on over a decade of fieldwork in financial markets, Christian Borch offers a rare inside look at how these systems are built, the risks they pose, and how they challenge our understanding of markets and decision-making. As trading automatons grow more complex and opaque-even to their designers-new sociological questions emerge: What happens when machines become the primary agents in markets? And how should we understand economic action when human judgment is no longer at the center? \u003ci\u003eTrading Beyond Understanding\u003c\/i\u003e is a powerful investigation of machine agency, market transformation, and the shifting boundaries between technological systems and social life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christian Borch\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1503645525\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781503645523\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/10\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 232\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.53d","brand":"Christian Borch","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48175730983167,"sku":"9781503645523","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_25ec1a7e-1019-4007-9a2a-9510ae531fe4.jpg?v=1771335555","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/trading-beyond-understanding-christian-borch-9781503645523","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
