If I can get up my nerve I might try his auction experiment next semester in my macro economics class.
It seems that John Geanakoplos supervised Joseph Jett who was instrumental in the downfall of Kidder Peabody.
For those interested I recommend “Inventing Money” by Nichola Dunbar. It tells the story of many of the people mentioned in the lectures, covers the development of the Black-Scholes options model and Long Term Capital Management.
Another excellent book covering the whole hedge fund genre is “Traders Guns & Money” by Satyajit Das.
I look forward to future lectures.
