{"product_id":"9781846682629","title":"The (Mis)Behaviour of Markets: A Fractal View of Risk, Ruin and Reward by Benoit B. Mandelbrot","description":"This international bestseller, which foreshadowed a market crash, explains why it could happen again if we don't act now. Fractal geometry is the mathematics of roughness: how to reduce the outline of a jagged leaf or static in a computer connection to a few simple mathematical properties. With his fractal tools, Mandelbrot has got to the bottom of how financial markets really work. He finds they have a shifting sense of time and wild behaviour that makes them volatile, dangerous - and beautiful. In his models, the complex gyrations of the FTSE 100 and exchange rates can be reduced to straightforward formulae that yield a much more accurate description of the risks involved.;  352 pages; Published: 06\/11\/2008\u003cdiv class=\"goodreadr\" data-isbn=\"9781846682629\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Profile Books Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56457273934206,"sku":"9781846682629","price":19.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0913\/1298\/0350\/files\/9781846682629.jpg?v=1761336387","url":"https:\/\/it-book.co.uk\/products\/9781846682629","provider":"IT-Book","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
