A Million a Minute

About this book

A Million a Minute is the inside story of the mysterious and wildly influential world of trading. In our interconnected global markets, traders have become the frontline, free-market warriors closest to the money, closest to the action. Their reactions to world events can topple governments and cause currencies to rise or plummet. They affect the prices we pay for the food we eat, the gasoline we use, the gold in our jewelry, the steel in our cars, even our homes and our mortgages. Hillary Davis, a former portfolio manager, shows us who these people are, what motivates them, and how they came to be so powerful, And of course she provides compelling insights into the work they do and how they do it.
