On the Role of Paradigms in Finance

This book applies the theory of paradigms (as introduced by Kuhn) to the subject of finance in order to explore the methodology of finance. In this way an explanation is given as to how the subject reached its present state, especially with respect to its use of mathematical language. The effects of the paradigmatic assumptions in determining the common approaches to and views held within the field of finance are discussed.Ardalan, Kavous is the author of 'On the Role of Paradigms in Finance', published 2008 under ISBN 9780754645245 and ISBN 075464524X.
