The physics of Wall Street
Book • 2013
In *The Physics of Wall Street*, James Owen Weatherall explores the role of physicists in developing financial models, particularly in the context of the 2008 financial crisis.
He argues that the misuse of scientific models, rather than their inherent flaws, contributed to the crisis.
Weatherall advocates for improving these models rather than abandoning them, offering insights into the complex relationship between physics and finance.
