Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Options have been traded for hundreds of years, but investment decisions were based on gut feelings until the Nobel Prize-winning discovery of the Black-Scholes options pricing model in 1973 ushered in the era of the quants." Wall Street would never be the same. In Pricing the Future , financial economist George G. Szpiro tells the fascinating stories of the pioneers of mathematical finance who conducted the search for the elusive options pricing formula. From the broker's assistant who published the first mathematical explanation of financial markets to Albert Einstein and other scientists who looked for a way to explain the movement of atoms and molecules, Pricing the Future retraces the historical and intellectual developments that ultimately led to the widespread use of mathematical models to drive investment strategies on Wall Street. Options have been traded for hundreds of years - at least since the sixteenth century when they were used to buy and sell commodities in Antwerp and Amsterdam - but for centuries nobody knew what their true value really was. This title retraces the historical developments that ultimately led to the breakthrough of an options pricing formula.
