"The Misbehavior of Markets" is one of the books that profoundly changed my understanding. Like "The Mystery of Capital: Why Capitalism Triumphs in the West and Fails Everywhere Else" by Hernando de Soto, and a handful of other of the many books I've read. You must have your own short list--

warm regards, charles

Thanks. I've no idea how I missed that. I've added it to my reading list. The markets and the plandemic demonstrated many nasty habits that crowds of people are prone to. Are you familiar with Catastrophe theory?

Its rather useful for these types of systems, but one has to be quite careful in its application.
