Finance theory, since it takes neoclassical economics as its starting point, is even more flawed than neoclassical economics itself. Here I point out how absurd its abuse of the English language has been--using "Efficient" and "Rational" to describe behavior that any sensible person would see as "prophetic"--and discuss how it should be reformed.

  • Since I'm already broke I suppose I should invest in a good squirrel gun rather than the market.

  • death by powerpoint

    great content. but ah, the presentation is mind numbing.

  • I was overdosed on Rational Expectations during my degree course in 1982-1985. Imagine that. I couldn't see how you look outside of the lecture theatre at the wider world in the early 80s and imagine that RE had any useful purpose. It was just a death star for macroeconomics.

  • @timmit59 double derivative with respect to time
