In Out of the Pits, Zaloom, an assistant professor in NYU’s Department of Social and Cultural Analysis, examines the following: how the world’s leading financial exchanges are creating a global marketplace; how organizational and technological changes in these institutions 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 financial markets.
