Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Gender and Change: Agency, Chronology and Periodisation brings together a collection of essays that explore the ways in which gender analysis suggests alternative chronologies to conventional periodisation. Written by leading scholars in the fields of women's and gender history, the book marks the twentieth anniversary of the influential journal Gender & History. By investigating the ways in which gender history challenges received chronologies, these essays revive a critical goal of feminist history and reassess the relationship between gender, agency, and change. Among the issues examined are the ways in which gender functioned as a force of endurance or transition, and how gender may have been constitutive rather than merely reflective of either continuity or change.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Führende Finanzexperten diskutieren, auch konvers, seit Jahren über den Konflikt zwischen Theorie und Praxis. Als einer der ersten befasste sich Nassim Taleb in seinem, eher für Finanzexperten geschriebenen Buch 'Dynamic Hedging' mit diesem Problem. Pablo Triana bereitet in 'Lecturing Birds on Flying' das Thema nun für Laien verständlich auf und erläutert, warum Finanztheorien in der Praxis oftmals jegliche Relevanz verlieren. Dabei geht er nicht auf finanztechnische Details ein, sondern zeigt, dass allgemein anerkannte und täglich angewandte Theorien für unsere Wirtschaftswelt schädlich sein können. Sehr oft führen quantitative Modelle, mit denen Hedge Fonds und Investmentbanken (aber auch Regulierungsbehörden und Rating-Agenturen) arbeiten zu einem Zusammenbruch des Marktes. Diese sogenannten Modelle führen zu falschen Entscheidungen, wiegen Investoren in falscher Sicherheit und sanktionieren eher fragwürdige Verhaltensweisen. So waren diese Modelle maßgeblich für den Börsencrash des Jahres 1987, die LTCM-Pleite 1998, die Kreditkrise 2008 und viele andere größere oder kleinere Crashs verantwortlich. Seit Jahren schreibt Pablo Triana über die Grenzen dieser Art mathematischer Berechnungen und zeigt nun, welche Konsequenzen dieser Ansatz für unsere Märkte hat und warum das blinde Vertrauen auf quantitative Maximen eine große Gefahr in sich birgt.
