This book by Philip Mirowski came up once on Tim Ferriss in the episodes we index. That mention was a genuine on-air recommendation, not just a passing reference. The people who brought it up: Michael Mauboussin. Every occurrence below links to the episode page and to the exact second it was said on YouTube.
“there's a wonderful book called more heat than light by a professor named Phil Morowski which documents how econ economists literally... mapped over equations from Newtonian physics”— Michael Mauboussin
The guest here is Michael Mauboussin: Head of Consilient Research on Counterpoint Global at Morgan Stanley Investment Management, longtime Columbia Business School adjunct finance professor, and author of investing classics including Think Twice, The Success Equation, More Than You Know, and Expectations Investing. Michael Mauboussin breaks down how great investors decide: base rates, wisdom of crowds, decision biases, and complex adaptive systems.
