9 Help humans to be humans to create economically efficient and balanced societies consisting of ordinary people (Not merely for Government or Corporate ) A basic tenet of finance The ultimate function of the financial system is to satisfy people s consumption preferences, including all the basic necessities of life, such as food, clothing, an shelter (Bodie and Merton, 2000) ( ) / 31

10 + ( ) / 31

11 + at the earliest opportunity, the mind slips back into the old grooves of thought since analysis is utterly impossible without a frame of reference, a way of thinking about things, or, in short, a theory. by Paul A. Samuelson, Lord Keynes and the General Theory, Economica 14 (1946), pp ( ) / 31

12 In my humble opinions Market fluctuations create many economists as any weird views can find their supports in a random world. Most of them just take what they see (know) recently for granted and behave as idea speculators, far away from scientific terms.... What I wish is that you are able to analyze the real markets as people with formal science education... ( ) / 31

22 2013 III The first was the neoclassical revolution in finance that began with the capital asset pricing model and efficient markets theory around the 1960s, and with the intertemporal capital asset pricing model and arbitrage-based option-pricing theory in the 1970s. The second was the behavioral revolution in finance which began in the 1980s with questions about the sources of volatility in financial markets, with the discovery of numerous anomalies, and with attempts to incorporate into financial theory Kahneman and Tversky s (1979) prospect theory, and other theories from psychologists. (Shiller, 2006) ( ) / 31

23 2013 IV Finance is widely viewed as amoral field. It has substantially neglected the protection of our ordinary riches, our careers, our home, and our very abilities to be creative as professionals (Shiller, The New Financial Order: Risk in the 21st Century). ( ) / 31
