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.

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

Very interesting. I've become fascinated with finance/economics for a few years and have mainly been reading the Austrian school, how valid would you consider this? Also how do you calculate the acceleration of debt? Is it a double derivative of what measure?
