Complexity, Risk, and Financial Markets completes Peters’s trilogy by presenting the underlying philosophical case for chaos theory, which turns out to be grounded on distinctively Austrian views of information and market process. This book should be read by Austrians interested in, or already familiar with, fractal analysis or chaos theory, a statistical methodology developed extensively by Benoit Mandelbrot. In addition, this book should also be read by practitioners of fractal analysis and related statistical techniques, in order to receive an introduction to the Austrian School and deepen their understanding of their methodological paradigm’s justification, implications, and limitations.

What is the Mises Institute?

The Mises Institute is a non-profit organization that exists to promote teaching and research in the Austrian School of economics, individual freedom, honest history, and international peace, in the tradition of Ludwig von Mises and Murray N. Rothbard. 

Non-political, non-partisan, and non-PC, we advocate a radical shift in the intellectual climate, away from statism and toward a private property order. We believe that our foundational ideas are of permanent value, and oppose all efforts at compromise, sellout, and amalgamation of these ideas with fashionable political, cultural, and social doctrines inimical to their spirit.
