Andreas Hoepner

Economists should study financial markets as they actually operate, not as they assume them to operate - observing the way in which information is actually processed, observing the serial correlations, bonanzas, and sudden stops, not assuming these away as noise around the edges of efficient and rational markets."Lord Adair Turner (2012: p64) 'Economics after The Crisis: objectives and means' MIT Press: Cambridge.
