Liar's poker / Michael (Michael M.) Lewis (2010)

Públic ISBD Títol : Liar's poker : rising through the wreckage on Wall Street Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Michael (Michael M.) Lewis, Autor Menció d'edició : 1st published as a Norton paperbak Editorial : New York : W. W. Norton Data de publicació : 2010 Nombre de pàgines : 310 p. Dimensions : 21 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-393-33869-0 Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Bons -- Estats Units d'Amèrica Capitalistes i financers -- Estats Units d'Amèrica Lewis, Michael (Michael M.) Salomon Brothers Classificació : 016 Crisis econòmiques i financeres Resum : The time was the 1980s. The place was Wall Street. The game was called Liar’s Poker. Michael Lewis was fresh out of Princeton and the London School of Economics when he landed a job at Salomon Brothers, one of Wall Street’s premier investment firms. During the next three years, Lewis rose from callow trainee to bond salesman, raking in millions for the firm and cashing in on a modern-day gold rush. Liar’s Poker is the culmination of those heady, frenzied years—a behind-the-scenes look at a unique and turbulent time in American business. From the frat-boy camaraderie of the forty-first-floor trading room to the killer instinct that made ambitious young men gamble everything on a high-stakes game of bluffing and deception, here is Michael Lewis’s knowing and hilarious insider’s account of an unprecedented era of greed, gluttony, and outrageous fortune.

Misbehaving / Richard H. Thaler (2015)

Públic ISBD Títol : Misbehaving : the making of behavioral economics Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Richard H. Thaler Menció d'edició : First edition. Editorial : New York : W. W. Norton Data de publicació : 2015 Nombre de pàgines : xvi, 415 p. Dimensions : 25 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-393-08094-0 Matèries : Economia -- Aspectes psicològics Classificació : 00 Economia Resum : Richard H. Thaler has spent his career studying the radical notion that the central agents in the economy are humans―predictable, error-prone individuals. Misbehaving is his arresting, frequently hilarious account of the struggle to bring an academic discipline back down to earth―and change the way we think about economics, ourselves, and our world. Traditional economics assumes rational actors. Early in his research, Thaler realized these Spock-like automatons were nothing like real people. Whether buying a clock radio, selling basketball tickets, or applying for a mortgage, we all succumb to biases and make decisions that deviate from the standards of rationality assumed by economists. In other words, we misbehave. More importantly, our misbehavior has serious consequences. Dismissed at first by economists as an amusing sideshow, the study of human miscalculations and their effects on markets now drives efforts to make better decisions in our lives, our businesses, and our governments. Coupling recent discoveries in human psychology with a practical understanding of incentives and market behavior, Thaler enlightens readers about how to make smarter decisions in an increasingly mystifying world. He reveals how behavioral economic analysis opens up new ways to look at everything from household finance to assigning faculty offices in a new building, to TV game shows, the NFL draft, and businesses like Uber. Laced with antic stories of Thaler’s spirited battles with the bastions of traditional economic thinking, Misbehaving is a singular look into profound human foibles. When economics meets psychology, the implications for individuals, managers, and policy makers are both profound and entertaining.

Data and Goliath / Schneier, Bruce (2015)

Públic ISBD Títol : Data and Goliath : The hiddden battles to collect your data and control your world Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : Schneier, Bruce, Autor Editorial : New York : W. W. Norton Data de publicació : 2015 Nombre de pàgines : 425 p. Dimensions : 21 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-0-393-35217-7 Nota general : Inclou índex i notes Idioma : Anglès (eng) Classificació : M74 Informàtica Resum : Your cell phone provider tracks your location and knows who's with you. Your online and in-store purchasing patterns are recorded, and reveal if you're unemployed, sick, or pregnant. Your e-mails and texts expose your intimate and casual friends. Google knows what you're thinking because it saves your private searches. Facebook can determine your sexual orientation without you ever mentioning it. The powers that surveil us do more than simply store this information. Corporations use surveillance to manipulate not only the news articles and advertisements we each see, but also the prices we're offered. Governments use surveillance to discriminate, censor, chill free speech, and put people in danger worldwide. And both sides share this information with each other or, even worse, lose it to cybercriminals in huge data breaches. Much of this is voluntary: we cooperate with corporate surveillance because it promises us convenience, and we submit to government surveillance because it promises us protection. The result is a mass surveillance society of our own making. But have we given up more than we've gained?In Data and Goliath, security expert Bruce Schneier offers another path, one that values both security and privacy. He shows us exactly what we can do to reform our government surveillance programs and shake up surveillance-based business models, while also providing tips for you to protect your privacy every day. You'll never look at your phone, your computer, your credit cards, or even your car in the same way again.

Radical Uncertainty / J. A. (John Anderson) Kay (2020)

Públic ISBD Títol : Radical Uncertainty : Decision-Making Beyond the Numbers Tipus de document : text imprès Autors : J. A. (John Anderson) Kay, Autor ; Mervyn J. King, Autor Editorial : New York : W. W. Norton Data de publicació : 2020 Nombre de pàgines : 554 p. Dimensions : 23 cm ISBN/ISSN/DL : 978-1-324-00477-6 Nota general : Ínclou bibliografia i índex Idioma : Anglès (eng) Matèries : Incertesa Classificació : 01 Ciència econòmica Resum : Some uncertainties are resolvable. The insurance industry’s actuarial tables and the gambler’s roulette wheel both yield to the tools of probability theory. Most situations in life, however, involve a deeper kind of uncertainty, a radical uncertainty for which historical data provide no useful guidance to future outcomes. Radical uncertainty concerns events whose determinants are insufficiently understood for probabilities to be known or forecasting possible. Before President Barack Obama made the fateful decision to send in the Navy Seals, his advisers offered him wildly divergent estimates of the odds that Osama bin Laden would be in the Abbottabad compound. In 2000, no one—not least Steve Jobs—knew what a smartphone was; how could anyone have predicted how many would be sold in 2020? And financial advisers who confidently provide the information required in the standard retirement planning package—what will interest rates, the cost of living, and your state of health be in 2050?—demonstrate only that their advice is worthless.The limits of certainty demonstrate the power of human judgment over artificial intelligence. In most critical decisions there can be no forecasts or probability distributions on which we might sensibly rely. Instead of inventing numbers to fill the gaps in our knowledge, we should adopt business, political, and personal strategies that will be robust to alternative futures and resilient to unpredictable events. Within the security of such a robust and resilient reference narrative, uncertainty can be embraced, because it is the source of creativity, excitement, and profit.
