and behavioral motivations that propel today’s markets.  Featured in the Wall Street Journal,
Barron’s, Bloomberg and the Business Insider – his work is read widely by
institutional investors, hedge funds, corporate managers, Treasury and governmental
officials, individuals at major financial firms and private investors.
