Rating: 4.333333333333 (3 reviews)
Author: Andrew W. Lo

"Adaptive Markets" tackles the enduring dispute in economics over whether market participants are rational and efficient or irrational and inefficient. Andrew Lo introduces the Adaptive Markets Hypothesis, showing how rationality and irrationality coexist and that market efficiency is incomplete, not wrong. By integrating insights from psychology, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and other disciplines, Lo explains how financial evolution drives market behavior at the speed of thought. The book illustrates how instability leads investors to instinctive reactions, creating exploitable inefficiencies, and how this dynamic interplay between stability, crisis, profit, loss, innovation, and regulation shapes the financial system.
