I have been reluctantly forced to the conclusion that if technology had killed capitalism, econom...")

Thus it is not sufficient to look for ideas which are merely wrong, as we should instead look for troubled scientific ideas that block progress by inspiring zeal, devotion, and what biolog...")

Evolutionary biologists Richard Alexander and Robert Trivers have recently emphasized that it is deception rather than information that often plays the decisive role in systems of selective pressures. Yet most of our t...")

How this realization unfolded over the last 40 years is a fascinating story that has, to the best of my knowledge, never been fully told as it is not particularly popular with some of the very people responsible for this stunning achievement. To set the stage,...")

I know that those few of us actively involved in the struggle are deeply worried about the epidemic of excellence precisely because excellence compels its hosts to facilitate its spread by altering their perception of its costs and benefits. Most educated people have come to revere the spending of the fabled '10,000 hours' in training to become respected jacks of on...")

These assets lack consensus pricing due to infrequent or private trading, which complicates the use of standard risk measures like the Sharpe ratio. The authors propose treating pricing uncertainty as an additional risk that inve...")
