The end of theory : financial crises, the failure of economics, and the sweep of human interaction / Richard Bookstaber

by Richard M. Bookstaber

This book examines why standard economic models fail to prevent financial crises, arguing instead for a new agent-based economic approach that accounts for human complexity, radical uncertainty, and unpredictable market behaviours.

brief_description
Our economy may have recovered from the Great Recession--but not our economics. In The End of Theory, Richard Bookstaber, one of the world's leading risk managers, 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. 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. -- Publisher.
