This 3rd platform is not as intuitively noticeable for commercial makers, however I assume
just what time will inform us is that it was just as impactful.

I know Mr Ashcroft. He knows this stuff well. He’s helping obscure it from the people.

In reply to Pat Flannery. Mediaeval economic thinking had a lot to recommend it. No re-selling in the same market and guilds guarenteeing quality of workmanship for example.

I’ve messed around with Minsky a bit (even considered doing some volunteer coding for it :)), but wish I had the knowledge/skillset to do that kind of experimenting – would be fun indeed 🙂

I’m about halfway through his lecture series there now (finding a bit of time each day to check each out), and yes it’s very good.

Yes, good discussion 🙂 Thanks for the insights/exchange.

Hawkeye by name… Thanks for correcting!

Golem – thanks for the encouragement. I’d love to talk sometime. I’d also love to take The Quant on a UK tour so watch this space…

Desmond (below) – thank you! It’s a small thing but hopefully the small things all add up.

That’s great news Jamie!

Will definitely be booking a ticket and will try and get some others along too.

Just noticed that some of the links in your post don’t quite work. Looks like it should read:

See you on stage next month!

Morning Jamie,

Not rude at all. I think you should post a reminder again nearer the time on whatever strand is going then.

Living up in Scarborough I am not likely to be able to see the play. BUT I would like to hear your thoughts. Perhaps, if you don’t mind, we could talk some time?

Slightly OT, and possibly a bit rude given how little I've been commenting here recently, but I wanted to let you all know about a new theatre show I'll be performing at the Camden People's Theatre from 16th - 18th December. The Quant is part performance lecture on financial risk, part glimpse into the soul of a physics grad turned quantitative trader. It explodes the myth of the 'rogue trader' and shines a light on the personal cost of pursuing a career in the murky world of derivatives trading. Tickets can be found via the website. If anyone is able to make it please let me know - it'd be great to meet you afterwards.
