    Should be interesting reading for anyone who normally pays no attention to the scientific press or heterodox economics in general.

    Can science reinvent the economy 1: Bubble math


    "With the right monitoring, it would have been clear that the last 15 years of excesses were leading to an unsustainable regime that could only blow up," says Sornette. His group is now developing similar techniques for monitoring, for example, the stock values of the 500 largest US companies.

    Wow, he needed a lab to come to that conclusion. There didnt seem to be any context of gov. policy or central bank policy. Will the Fed's policy be support the currency, encourage economic growth but dont create bubbles?

    A belief in gender identity involves a level of faith as there is nothing tangible to prove its existence which, as something divorced from the physical body, is similar to the idea of a soul. - Colette Colfer
