Here an account of my column in Le Monde on the concept of a new Bretton Woods.
Bretton Woods 2.0 – Paul Jorion on The Financial Crisis
Paul Jorion wrote a column in Le Monde a few days ago concerning the prospects of a new Bretton Woods (never mind that the original died […]
I was Walter Traversy’s guest on CFRA a news only radio station in Toronto, between 2 and 2:30 PM.
The podcast is here. I’m talking in the second part of the program … just after the weather report. But hear Walter introduce me in the nicest way at the very beginning.

Finance is in shambles. It has remained until now under the close supervision of economic and financial theory. In recent years, due to the overbearing dominance of views developed under the umbrella of the “Chicago School” of economics, finance has been regarded as explainable through the combination of a very simplified version of psychology: that […]
On September 5th, I wrote on my French blog : “D’ici à la fin du mois il semble donc bien que les conditions d’un krach soient réunies”, meaning in proper English:

It’s becoming clear that with all the brain and consciousness theories out there, the proof will be in the pudding.…
I fear your views of AI are pretty much outdated. They pre-date in any case neural networks. What you are…
