Why Finance?

You could wonder why I give so much importance to finance... let's try to define that.

Finance is what backs capitalism and capitalism was the major driver in wealth increase in the world in the past century. Ironically capitalism was the major contributor to what humanists looked for with socialism which never worked. Without entering into details here: I'm not a neo-liberal in the sense that I believe that efficient capitalism is only possible with a frame ensuring equality of chances between people but I'm definitively believing that socialism is just impossible with human nature.

Finance is a continuously evolving complicated and very human field. In fact it shows the creative and twisted mind of humanity.

Finance is a field which can be very well modeled, requires some mathematics, and requires a lot of logic and a good dose of empiric knowledge. In fewer words: it’s challenging and intellectually fun!
