Theory and Portfolios
An Economic History of Mpt, Apt, and the Capm from 1952 to 1986.
Dedication
This book is dedicated to the people who ask, Why not? as opposed to those who have made a career from asking simply, Why? No particular text should ever really be considered a be all or end all with regard to any topic or field of endeavor.
Purpose and Approach
The primary impetus behind this text was the novel idea that a text could, or perhaps even should, go beyond the basic Philosophy or Logic course delimiters of Why and Because. Maybe, we could Push-the-Envelope or engage in Out-of-the-Box thinking to ask, Why not?
Impact and Application
This style of thinking has fostered a tremendous amount of growth over the years for my college students (in several dozens of courses) and, using backward induction, may be a more constructive way of solving all sorts of problems. Try it and see if it works for you.
Target Audience
If you are looking for a repository reference that ties together the theory, current research, and application aspects of MPT, APT, and the CAPM in one place - this book is for you.
