Finance ✦ Penny’s Take
The New Paradigm for Financial Markets
George Soros · 2008
68/100
👎 Skip It
Soros writing in real time about the 2008 crisis from a practitioner's seat is genuinely valuable, and his reflexivity framework offers a stimulating challenge to efficient-market orthodoxy. But academics debate whether reflexivity is actually new, the autobiographical sections interrupt the argument's momentum, and the policy prescriptions lack rigor. Thought-provoking but ultimately not wholly convincing.
