<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><b>An in-depth look at how to account for the human complexities at the heart of today's financial system</b> <p/>Our economy may have recovered from the Great Recession--but not our economics. <i>The End of Theory</i> discusses why the human condition and the radical uncertainty of our world renders the standard economic model--and the theory behind it--useless for dealing with financial crises. What model should replace it? None. At least not any version we've been using for the past two hundred years. Richard Bookstaber argues for a new approach called agent-based economics, one that takes as a starting point the fact that we are humans, not the optimizing automatons that standard economics assumes we are. Sweeping aside the historic failure of twentieth-century economics, <i>The End of Theory</i> offers a novel perspective and more realistic framework to help prevent today's financial system from blowing up again.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>Selected for Askblog's Books of the year 2017<br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Richard Bookstaber</b> has overseen risk management at investment banks Morgan Stanley and Salomon Brothers, as well as major hedge funds such as Moore Capital and Bridgewater.
