In a couple of days I’m going to be participating in an Economic Policy Institute conference on “excessive wealth disorder” — the problems and dangers created by extreme concentration of income and wealth at the top. I’ve been asked to give a short talk at the beginning of the conference, focusing on the political and policy distortions high inequality creates, and I’ve been trying to put my thoughts in order. So I thought I might as well write up those thoughts for broader dissemination.

While popular discourse has concentrated on the “1 percent,” what’s really at issue here is the role of the 0.1 percent, or maybe the 0.01 percent — the truly wealthy, not the “$400,000 a year working Wall Street stiff” memorably ridiculed in the movie Wall Street. This is a really tiny group of people, but one that exerts huge influence over policy.

SNOWDEN - Official Trailer
▻https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QlSAiI3xMh4

Academy Award®-winning director Oliver Stone, who brought Platoon, Born on the Fourth of July, Wall Street and JFK to the big screen, tackles the most important and fascinating true story of the 21st century. Snowden, the politically-charged, pulse-pounding thriller starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt and Shailene Woodley, reveals the incredible untold personal story of Edward Snowden, the polarizing figure who exposed shocking illegal surveillance activities by the NSA and became one of the most wanted men in the world. He is considered a hero by some, and a traitor by others. No matter which you believe, the epic story of why he did it, who he left behind, and how he pulled it off makes for one of the most compelling films of the year.

The american process.

A propos de ce documentaire sur le #HFT : ▻http://www.canalplus.fr/c-infos-documentaires/pid8068-c-les-nouveaux-loups-de-wall-street.html

But if you want a fair viewpoint and some good reflections about high-frequency trading, this documentary is not for you. Think that you’ll have to wait for the last ten minutes to hear about the fact the human markets were perhaps more rigged before the advent of algorithms, and that, without HFTs, there is no market anymore now (and I don’t develop). After these last ten minutes, the last words of the documentary is about the fact Flash Boys is going to become an Hollywood movie, so “the new wolves of Wall Street won’t be able to hide anymore” (?!).

I would have more to say but I decided not to spend too much time on this review. Beyond inaccuracies, beyond the biased approach, and beyond some interesting points of view, I regret that there is no historical perspective, and no neutral overall perspective on HFT.

L’auteur n’a pas de mots assez tendres pour l’équipe de production, qui n’a pas respecté ses engagements.

This box kept at the facility in Secaucus, N.J., contains a 38-mile coil of fiber-optic cable that creates a slight delay in the processing of orders, which levels the playing field among traders.
