In \u003ci\u003eWhoosh Goes the Market\u003c\/i\u003e, Daniel Scott Souleles takes us into the day-to-day experiences of a team at a large trading firm, revealing what it's actually like to make and lose money on contemporary capital markets. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The traders Souleles shadows have mostly moved out of the pits and now work with automated, glitch-prone computer systems. They remember the days of trading manually, and they are suspicious of algorithmically driven machine-learning systems. Openly musing about their own potential extinction, they spend their time expressing fear and frustration in profanity-laced language. With Souleles as our guide, we learn about everything from betting strategies to inflated valuations, trading swings, and market manipulation. This crash course in contemporary finance vividly reveals the existential anxiety at the evolving front lines of American capitalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Daniel Scott Souleles\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0226833798\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780226833798\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University of Chicago Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/25\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Daniel Scott Souleles","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45180580593919,"sku":"9780226833798","price":27.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_110fa90d-6232-4060-bf03-5d91e6096f3c.jpg?v=1712898179","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/whoosh-goes-the-market-daniel-scott-souleles-9780226833798","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
