The Financial System Red in Tooth and Claw: 75 Years of Co-Evolving Markets and Technology
以《金融分析师期刊》创刊75周年为契机，运用适应性市场假说，识别出八个金融时代，揭示技术创新与商业条件、利益相关者增长如何共同塑造金融系统的演化路径。
The 75th anniversary of the founding of the Financial Analysts Journal offers a rare vista of the evolutionary path of financial analysis and its practitioners. That path is by no means random but is shaped by a complex ecosystem in which technological innovation interacts with shifting business conditions and a growing population of financial stakeholders. Using the lens of the Adaptive Markets Hypothesis—the principles of evolutionary biology and ecology applied to the financial system—we can clearly identify eight discrete financial “eras” in which unique combinations of economic need and technological advances gave rise to new products, services, and financial institutions. By understanding the underlying drivers and resulting dynamics of these eras, we can begin to develop a deeper appreciation for the origins of financial innovation and its great promise for our future.
