Choices, Cheers and Maths
Lots of philosophical thinking in Business Weekly. Just how much say should the state have in our personal choices? And what role should mathematics now play in the markets?
Business Weekly is full of deep thought and philosophy this week. The debate between personal choice and the Nanny State - should governments nudge us in the direction of making the right decisions or should they simply stay out of our lives? And the role of mathematics in the markets. Some blame the extensive modelling and algorithms for at least part of the mess we're in now. But can mathematics plot the course out of the recession? Plus, Lucy Kellaway on how good cheer can be good supply during these troubled economic times.
