Error 404: Economy Not Found. Call Neo now!

A few weeks ago, Ramesh had blogged about the crazy aspects of stock trading, called "high frequency trading," and questioned whether it serves any useful function, other than to screw up the system!

Colbert adds to that, in this interview with the author of Automate This. The subtitle of the book is more exciting: "How algorithms came to rule our world."

Yes, getting closer and closer to the world depicted in the Matrix.   

The blue pill, please; I don't want to know how deep the rabbit hole is :)

Alas,Alas, the book is all too true. Greed has bred insanity in financial markets. It says something abut our society that the best minds go here.
