aidanbetenoire

Main points:

  • We hardly ever understand the word “risk”
  • Quants, unfortunately, are not always the good guys
  • We need a word for the rock-the-boatness of markets
  • We should tax trading strategies that are polluting
  • Agent-based models may be a way to understand how to tax strategies
  • Playing is a good thing
