Book Synopsis Fortune Tellers by : Walter A Friedman
Download or read book Fortune Tellers written by Walter A Friedman and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A gripping history of the pioneers who sought to use science to predict financial markets The period leading up to the Great Depression witnessed the rise of the economic forecasters, pioneers who sought to use the tools of science to predict the future, with the aim of profiting from their forecasts. This book chronicles the lives and careers of the men who defined this first wave of economic fortune tellers, men such as Roger Babson, Irving Fisher, John Moody, C. J. Bullock, and Warren Persons. They competed to sell their distinctive methods of prediction to investors and businesses, and thrived in the boom years that followed World War I. Yet, almost to a man, they failed to predict the devastating crash of 1929. Walter Friedman paints vivid portraits of entrepreneurs who shared a belief that the rational world of numbers and reason could tame--or at least foresee--the irrational gyrations of the market. Despite their failures, this first generation of economic forecasters helped to make the prediction of economic trends a central economic activity, and shed light on the mechanics of financial markets by providing a range of statistics and information about individual firms. They also raised questions that are still relevant today. What is science and what is merely guesswork in forecasting? What motivates people to buy forecasts? Does the act of forecasting set in motion unforeseen events that can counteract the forecast made? Masterful and compelling, Fortune Tellers highlights the risk and uncertainty that are inherent to capitalism itself.

Book excerpt: NOW A USA TODAY AND LOS ANGELES TIMES BESTSELLER From the award-winning author of The Memory Painter comes a sweeping and suspenseful tale of romance, fate, and fortune. Semele Cavnow appraises antiquities for an exclusive Manhattan auction house, deciphering ancient texts—and when she discovers a manuscript written in the time of Cleopatra, she knows it will be the find of her career. Its author tells the story of a priceless tarot deck, now lost to history, but as Semele delves further, she realizes the manuscript is more than it seems. Both a memoir and a prophecy, it appears to be the work of a powerful seer, describing devastating wars and natural disasters in detail thousands of years before they occurred. The more she reads, the more the manuscript begins to affect Semele’s life. But what happened to the tarot deck? As the mystery of her connection to its story deepens, Semele can’t shake the feeling that she’s being followed. Only one person can help her make sense of it all: her client, Theo Bossard. Yet Theo is arrogant and elusive, concealing secrets of his own, and there’s more to Semele’s desire to speak with him than she would like to admit. Can Semele even trust him? The auction date is swiftly approaching, and someone wants to interfere—someone who knows the cards exist, and that the Bossard manuscript is tied to her. Semele realizes it’s up to her to stop them: the manuscript holds the key to a two-thousand-year-old secret, a secret someone will do anything to possess.

Book Synopsis Plight of the Fortune Tellers by : Riccardo Rebonato
Download or read book Plight of the Fortune Tellers written by Riccardo Rebonato and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2007-09-17 with total page 303 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Today's top financial-risk professionals have come to rely on ever-more sophisticated mathematics in their attempts to come to grips with financial risk. But this excessive reliance on quantitative precision is misleading--and it puts us all at risk. This is the case that Riccardo Rebonato makes in Plight of the Fortune Tellers--and coming from someone who is both an experienced market professional and an academic, this heresy is worth listening to. Rebonato forcefully argues that we must restore genuine decision making to our financial planning, and he shows us how to do it using probability, experimental psychology, and decision theory. This is the only way to effectively manage financial risk in a manner congruent with how human beings actually react to chance. Rebonato challenges us to rethink the standard wisdom about probability in financial-risk management. Risk managers have become obsessed with measuring risk and believe that these quantitative results by themselves can guide sound financial choices--but they can't. In this book, Rebonato offers a radical yet surprisingly commonsense solution, one that seeks to remind us that managing risk comes down to real people making decisions under uncertainty. Plight of the Fortune Tellers is not only a book for the decision makers of Wall Street, it's a must-read for anyone concerned about how today's financial markets are run. The stakes have never been higher--can you risk it?

Book Synopsis Gypsy Fortune Telling Tarot Kit by : Raymond Buckland
Download or read book Gypsy Fortune Telling Tarot Kit written by Raymond Buckland and published by Llewellyn Publications. This book was released on 1998-07-01 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Now you can tell fortunes just as the Gypsies have done for hundreds of years when you use Ray Buckland's "Gypsy Fortune Telling Tarot Deck." The Gypsies have always been associated with the Tarot, and may even have been the group that introduced them to Europe over 600 years ago. Ray Buckland, famous for his works on Witchcraft, is from a Gypsy (Romani) family and reveals the secrets of Gypsy fortune telling with this deck and forty-eight page booklet. Although the traditional Tarot deck with its Major and Minor Arcana totalling seventy-eight cards was used by Gypsies, such decks were often hard to obtain. Thus, many Gypsies altered standard decks of playing cards to use for Tarot readings. This deck is based upon the one Ray Buckland's grandmother used. The cards are the size of a deck of playing cards, so they are easier to carry than other decks. The twenty-two cards of the Major Arcana are numbered starting with one and have images from Gypsy life, usually involving the "vardo, " or Gypsy wagon. The booklet not only gives the meaning of the symbols but also the way the cards should be interpreted. The Minor Arcana cards look like a regular deck of playing cards, but the aces each have a different "vardo" on them and there are four face cards in each suit. The people on them are typical Gypsies. Again, the booklet explains the way to interpret the cards. The booklet includes a full ten Tarot spreads that you can use, some published here for the first time. If you are interested in Gypsies or the Tarot, you must have this deck.
