Price and Financial Stability (eBook, PDF)

Rethinking Financial Markets

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book builds on the insights of economists Frank Knight and John Maynard Keynes that uncertainty of the future is essential to understand the processes of economic production and capital investment, and adds to this Karl Popper's general explanation of how expectations of an uncertain future are formed and tested through a trial and error process. Rather than relying on fluctuating financial prices to provide a guide to an uncertain future, it suggests a better approach would be to adopt the methods common to other branches of science, and create testable (falsifiable) theories allowing reasonable predictions to be made.
