Donald MacKenzie shows how in the 1990s, in what were then the disreputable margins of the US financial system, a new approach to trading?automated high-frequency trading or HFT?began and then spread throughout the world. HFT has brought new efficiency to global trading, but has also created an unrelenting race for speed, leading to a systematic, subterranean battle among HFT algorithms.
