Description

This is the second of three sessions on Perry Mehrling's 2005 book Fischer Black and the Revolutionary Idea of Finance.

https://www.amazon.com/Fischer-Black-Revolutionary-Idea-Finance/dp/1118203569/

From Mehrling's Amazon Author Page:

My second book, Fischer Black and the Revolutionary Idea of Finance (Wiley 2005), tells the story of the rise of modern finance, both as a set of ideas and as a set of institutions, that transformed the monetary landscape starting in about 1970.

This week, we discuss chapters 6 through 8.

  • Chapter 6: The Money Wars
  • Chapter 7: Global Reach
  • Chapter 8: Stagflation
