Description:
How could a couple of physicists in sandals and "Eat the Rich" T-shirts, piling computers into an adobe house in Santa Fe, hope to take on the "Masters of the Universe" from Goldman Sachs? These guys had never even read The Wall Street Journal. All they knew about finance was that it was a highly irrational, complex system bordering on chaos. But since Doyne Farmer and Norman Packard just happened to be two of the founding fathers of the new science of chaos, perhaps they could give it a try. Now, several years -- and many millions of dollars -- later, they continue one of the winningest streaks on Wall Street.
Expand description
Farmer and Packard developed a cult following the publication of Bass's book, The Eudaemonic Pie. Their new adventures gambling on the Street -- funny, engaging, as well as a brisk education in chaos, complexity, and world financial markets -- will expand that following to include anyone who has ever dreamed of getting rich.
