From fin-de-sicle Paris to Rat Pack-era Las Vegas, from wartime government labs to Yippie communes on the Pacific coast, Weatherall shows how physicists successfully brought their science to bear on some of the thorniest problems in economics, from options pricing to bubbles. The 2008 crisis was partly a failure of mathematical modeling, but even more, it was a failure of some very sophisticated financial institutions to think like physicists. Models--whether in science or finance--have limitations; they break down under certain conditions. And in 2008, sophisticated models fell into the hands of people who didnt understand their purpose, and didnt care. It was a catastrophic misuse of science. The solution, however, is not to give up on models; its to make them better. Weatherall reveals the people and ideas on the cusp of a new era in finance. This book is riveting history that will change how we think about our economic future.--From publisher description. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1646988 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1732972 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1687285 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1669031 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1687288 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1679194 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1687141 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1675049 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1712802 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1671960 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1682843 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1712676 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1712806 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1674629 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1682908 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1687112 The leader of the Consumer Electronics Association draws on his decades of experience working with the worlds most innovative companies to reveal why success depends on following the ninja credo: creating a killer strategy with defined goals, flexibility, and a focus on innovative thinking. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1675066 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1715382 The authors introduce a four-step process designed to counteract the biases that inevitably creep into the decision-making process. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1687275 http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1744968 Over the last 100 years, the road to success for most everyone has been divided into five predictable stages: Learning, Editing, Mastering, Harvesting, and Guiding.

The awesome path is more challenging, because things like fear only bother you when you do work that matters. Start gives readers practical, actionable insights to be more awesome, more often. http://www.phoenixpubliclibrary.org/record.jsp?R=1743699 Recounts the events of the Bretton Woods accords, presents portaits of the two men at the center of the drama, and reveals Harry Whites admiration for Soviet economic planning and communications with intelligence officers.
