In" Out of the Pits," Caitlin Zaloom shows how traders, brokers,
and global financial markets have adapted to the digital age.
Drawing on her firsthand experiences as a clerk and a trader, as
well as on her unusual access to key sites of global finance, she
explains how changes at the world's leading financial exchanges
have transformed economic cultures and the craft of speculation;
how people and places are responding to the digital transition; how
traders are remaking themselves to compete in the contemporary
marketplace; and how brokers, business managers, and software
designers are collaborating to build new markets. A penetrating and
richly detailed account of how cities, culture, and technology
shape everyday life in the global economy, "Out of the Pits" will
be required reading for anyone who has ever wondered how financial
markets work."Zaloom's superb book is a double-site ethnography
[that shows how] the appearance of chaos hid a complex social
order, which Zaloom delineates beautifully."--"The London Review of
Books"
