Públic ISBD Títol : The (Mis)behaviour of markets : a fractal view of financial turbulence Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Benoit B. Mandelbrot ; Richard L. Hudson Editorial : New York : Basic Books Data de publicació : 2004 Nombre de pàgines : 328 p. ll. : il., gràf Dimensions : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 0-465-04355-0 Nota general : Inclou bibliografia i index Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Mercats financers Classificació : 5 Mercats financers. Borsa de valors Resum : Mathematical superstar and inventor of fractal geometry, Benoit Mandelbrot, has spent the past forty years studying the underlying mathematics of space and natural patterns. What many of his followers don't realize is that he has also been watching patterns of market change. In The (Mis)behaviour of Markets , Mandelbrot joins with science journalist and former Wall Street Journal editor Richard L. Hudson to reveal what a fractal view of the world of finance looks like. The result is a revolutionary reevaluation of the standard tools and models of modern financial theory. Markets, we learn, are far riskier than we have wanted to believe. From the gyrations of IBM's stock price and the Dow, to cotton trading, and the dollar-Euro exchange rate- Mandelbrot shows that the world of finance can be understood in more accurate, and volatile, terms than the tired theories of yesteryear.The ability to simplify the complex has made Mandelbrot one of the century's most influential mathematicians. With The (Mis)behaviour of Markets , he puts the tools of higher mathematics into the hands of every person involved with markets, from financial analysts to economists to 401(k) holders. Markets will never be seen as "safe bets" again.

Reinventing capitalism in the age of big data / Viktor Mayer-Schonberger (2018)

Públic ISBD Títol : Reinventing capitalism in the age of big data Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Viktor Mayer-Schonberger Menció d'edició : 1a ed. Editorial : New York : Basic Books Data de publicació : 2018 Nombre de pàgines : 273 p. Dimensions : 24 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-465-09368-7 Nota general : Inclou índex i notes Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Macrodades Classificació : M71.15 Econometria Resum : From the New York Times bestselling author of Big Data, a prediction for how data will revolutionize the market economy and make cash, banks, and big companies obsolete In modern history, the story of capitalism has been a story of firms and financiers. That's all going to change thanks to the Big Data revolution. As Viktor Mayer-Schönberger, bestselling author of Big Data, and Thomas Ramge, who writes for The Economist, show, data is replacing money as the driver of market behavior. Big finance and big companies will be replaced by small groups and individual actors who make markets instead of making things: think Uber instead of Ford, or Airbnb instead of Hyatt. This is the dawn of the era of data capitalism. Will it be an age of prosperity or of calamity? This book provides the indispensable roadmap for securing a better future.

Adam Smith / Jesse Norman (2018)

Públic ISBD Títol : Adam Smith : father of economics Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Jesse Norman Menció d'edició : First Edition. Editorial : New York : Basic Books Data de publicació : 2018 Nombre de pàgines : xvi, 408 pages ll. : il., col. Dimensions : 25 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-465-06197-6 Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Economistes -- Biografia Classificació : 018 Biografies Resum : A dazzlingly original account of the life and thought of Adam Smith, the greatest economist of all time Adam Smith (1723-1790) is now widely regarded as the greatest economist of all time. But what he really thought, and the implications of his ideas, remain fiercely contested. Was he an eloquent advocate of capitalism and individual freedom? A prime mover of "market fundamentalism"? An apologist for human selfishness? Or something else entirely? In Adam Smith, political philosopher Jesse Norman dispels the myths and caricatures, and provides a far more complex portrait of the man. Offering a highly engaging account of Smith's life and times, Norman explores his work as a whole and traces his influence over two centuries to the present day. Finally, he shows how a proper understanding of Smith can help us address the problems of modern capitalism. The Smith who emerges from this book is not only the greatest of all economists but a pioneering theorist of moral philosophy, culture, and society.
