Reviews
"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." - London Review of Books "The book is half fascinating cultural portrait and half in-depth academic text.... What emerges from the mix is a nuanced, bottom-up picture of Chicago's economic importance in the world market, and how our city's working-class swagger has shaped derivatives trading from the inception of the market." - Time Out Chicago"
