The book "Flash Boys" by Michael Lewis highlights the intricate relationship between market regulations and systemic injustices in the financial industry. The author argues that many of the injustices found in the market trace back to regulatory loopholes. These loopholes emerge as attempts to rectify previous injustices but often create new problems in the process. This cycle of addressing one issue while inadvertently allowing another reflects the complexity of financial regulations and the challenges in creating a fair market.

Lewis emphasizes that understanding these systemic injustices is crucial for recognizing how they perpetuate inequality within the market. Each regulatory change, while intended to promote fairness, can lead to unintended consequences that favor certain players. The quote serves as a reminder that genuine reform requires vigilance to ensure that solutions do not create new vulnerabilities, thus perpetuating a cycle of inequity in the financial landscape.
