"Providing a unique perspective on a complex suject, Taking the
Floor profiles what an effective, responsible trading room can and
should look like."---City Press Office, Cass Business School
"Taking the Floor is a significant contribution to social studies
of finance and economic sociology more broadly. It will certainly
be worthwhile reading not only for specialists, but also a much
broader audience, since the way abstract models shape reality is
becoming one of the more salient issues in contemporary societies
within and beyond the realm of finance."---Manuel A.
Santana-Turégano, London School of Economics Review of Books
"“Taking the Floor is beautifully written. . . . Throughout,
[Beunza’s] storytelling keeps the reader riveted.”"---Joel Gehman,
Organization Studies
