Book review: taking the floor: models, morals and management in a Wall Street trading room

In Taking the Floor: Models, Morals and Management in a Wall Street Trading Room, Daniel Beunza analyses how the use of economic models and the moral disengagement this has created have significantly transformed the global financial industry through an ethnographic study conducted at an equity derivatives trading room of an international bank located in New York City. This is a significant contribution to social studies of finance and economic sociology, writes Manuel A. Santana-Turégano
