Gerschenkron
Nos 9 dias off-line (um recorde pessoal!) eu pude ler com calma
The Fly Swatter: How My Grandfather Made His Way in the World
, a biografia do Alexander Gerschenkron escrita pelo neto. É muito, muito bom mesmo. A começar pela capa: um retrato do biografado feito pelo Leontief.
Vou postar umas frases e causos nos próximos dias. Só para ficar nas fofocas com artistas, adianto que ele jogou xadrez (e perdeu de lavada) para o Marcel Duchamp e era tão odiado pelo Nabokov que este criou um personagem para debochá-lo.

An Historical Perspective on the Crisis of 2007-2008
Para quem acha que o mundo acabou/acabará, Michel Bordo lembra:
"This paper provides an historical perspective on the crisis of 2007-2008. The crisis is part of a perennial pattern. It has echoes in earlier big international financial crises which were triggered by events in the U.S. financial system. Examples include the crises of 1857, 1893 1907 and 1929-33. This crisis has many similarities to those of the past but also some important modern twists."

Ciência, a Crise Financeira e Paul Romer
Paul Romer:
Aqui.
Já que estamos falando de Ciência, aí vai um bônus.
"...after Citibank made some bets that turned out badly in the Latin American debt crisis of the 1980s, its CEO John Reed helped mid-wife the Economics Program at the Santa Fe Institute. He wanted the new theoretical insights about financial crises that the new complexity scientists promised. Ever since, the complexity scientists have been telling us that markets are self-organizing systems. For the life of me, I can't see how this puts us way ahead. Didn't seem to help Citibank either, which I've noticed is back in the headlines.
(...)
I agree with the closing suggestion, that air transport is a good place to look for lessons about avoiding crashes. No matter what we do, we will still have financial crises, just as we still have plane crashes. But judging from our success in making air travel safer, it seems reasonable to bet on an institutionalized commitment to systematic data collection as a way to reduce their frequency and severity. As a traveler and an investor, I feel much safer in the hands of experts with good data than tourists from other scientific disciplines bearing new models.
