We seek to manage those threats with a vast array of sophisticated mathematical tools and techniques of financial risk management.

He pokes holes in the conventional wisdom of neo-classical economics, illustrating how flawed theories about financial decision-making and maximizing efficiency ignore human psychology and morality.
