by Alan Greenspan

Description

Like all of us, though few so visibly, Alan Greenspan was forced by the financial crisis of 2008 to question some fundamental assumptions about risk management and economic forecasting. How had our models so utterly failed us? Virtually every day, we make wagers on the future - but, even when we're not driven by factors entirely beyond our conscious control, the maps by which we are steering are often out-of-date. The Map and the Territory is an important attempt to update our forecasting show more conceptual grid using twenty-first-century technologies, offering a lucid and empirical grounding in what we can know about economic forecasting and what we can't. show less

Alan Greenspan ist ein Meister seines Fachs. Er weiss, wovon er redet, und wenn er ein ganzes Buch dem Thema widmet, dass menschliches Verhalten triebgesteuert ist und damit nie gänzlich vorhersehbar... wird es wohl stimmen. Er versucht dann noch, die Auswirkungen der einzelnen Treibe einzuordnen, alles in Nachbetrachtung der jüngsten Finanzkrise.
