Thoughts on an open-source method of dealing with the financial crisis
Not enough people in this industry talk about the economy. Charles Frith wrote an interesting post on this a while ago. On Wednesday, I spotted two more pieces that discussed the ongoing financial crisis but in completely different ways (not from the media/communications industry exactly), that got me thinking. One was Umair Haque’s piece on the Finance 2.0 manifesto. Two points in his post particularly stood out for me: how the edge fund economy should replace the hedge fund economy, and the issue of open source modeling.
