  My Journeys in Economic Theory

  Edmund Phelps

  • 0

  Edmund Phelps is among the most important economists of his generation. He developed a new understanding of unemployment and inflation and went on to rethink the roots of innovation. 
   
   
   
  In this book, Phelps tells the story of his role in reshaping economic theory, offering a powerful personal account of a creative and rewarding career. My Journeys in Economic Theory charts two major phases of Phelps's work, illuminating the breadth of his contributions to the field. First, introducing the expectations of wage setters and cofounding the "equilibrium" rate of unemployment, he built the microeconomic foundations for the employment theory pioneered by Keynes and Hicks. More recently, he conceived a theory of "mass flourishing" in which individuals' creativity and society's dynamism fuel grassroots innovation and generate job satisfaction in the process. 
   
   
   
  Phelps recounts his vivid experiences in the world of economics as well as his relationships with luminaries such as John Rawls, Thomas Nagel, Paul Samuelson, and Paul Volcker. At its core, this book shares the joy of intellectual achievement: the excitement of coming up with a new idea that radically departs from prevailing views and the satisfaction of exercising one's own ingenuity instead of applying or developing others' models.

  In 1986, the SEC and the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York began an investigation into Michael Milken, Drexel Burnham Lambert, and its High Yield and Convertible Bond Department, a department Michael created and was head of. Michael was the most successful and innovative financier of his time. Drexel, an upstart investment bank was also the most successful securities firm on Wall Street, thanks to Michael. 
   
  What was the investigation into Michael Milken going to focus on, other than his innovation in the financial markets? Mike was democratizing access to capital for the 99% of companies that could not previously access the public market and created a financial revolution that continues to this day. The high yield bond market grew rapidly from the end of the 1970’s from $70 billion to over $2.2 trillion dollars in 2022. He created an industry that gave new businesses and investors the opportunity to create value by financing companies that were too small to access the markets. 
   
  Richard Sandler decided to represent Michael as his personal lawyer, and to be responsible for working with the lawyers they hired as well as overseeing the defense. But they could never have dreamed of the chaos that lay ahead. 
   
  But the injustice that Michael Milken faced was to be on a biblical scale. Richard Sandler has, after 36 years, decided to set the record straight. With never-before-seen transcripts of court documents, and a sharp analysis of each move and countermove, Witness to a Prosecution: The Myth of Michael Milken, is difficult to put down. Whether you are someone interested in understanding the criminal investigative process, or you just want to understand who Michael Milken is and what really happened to him, you will find that this is an eye-opening and important book that will be read and discussed for years to come.

  Investing Risk - What You Need...

  This audiobook is narrated by an AI Voice.   
  The moment Sarah Henderson received her quarterly investment statement, she felt the familiar knot of anxiety forming in her stomach. Despite following what seemed like sound financial advice and diversifying her portfolio across various asset classes, her retirement savings had declined by fifteen percent over the past six months. Like millions of investors worldwide, Sarah was discovering that the investing landscape harbors risks that often remain invisible until they strike with devastating force. 
  Investment risk represents far more than the simple possibility of losing money. It encompasses a complex web of interconnected threats that can erode wealth through multiple pathways, often simultaneously. Understanding these risks requires moving beyond the sanitized disclaimers found in investment prospectuses and confronting the harsh realities of how markets actually behave when stress emerges. 
  The fundamental challenge facing every investor lies in the asymmetric nature of risk itself. While gains typically accumulate gradually over extended periods, losses can manifest with shocking speed and severity. A portfolio that requires five years to double in value can lose half its worth in mere months when adverse conditions align. This mathematical reality creates a psychological burden that extends far beyond financial statements, affecting everything from retirement planning to family relationships.
