Automating Finance examines the development of electronic markets, focusing on the crucial role played by financial engineers and the technological infrastructures they built. Juan Pablo Pardo-Guerra traces the history of electronic markets from their origins in the 1960s to the present day, showing how these markets were shaped by the interplay of economic, political, and technological factors. He argues that the automation of finance was not simply a matter of applying new technologies to existing markets, but rather a process of creating entirely new markets and new forms of financial activity. The book draws on a wide range of sources, including archival materials, interviews with key figures in the development of electronic markets, and ethnographic observations of trading floors and technology firms. Pardo-Guerra provides a detailed account of the technical challenges involved in building electronic markets, as well as the social and cultural changes that accompanied their rise. He also explores the implications of automated finance for the broader economy and society, arguing that it has led to increased volatility, greater inequality, and the erosion of traditional financial institutions.
