Recenzje

'A cynic may know the price of everything and the value of nothing, but Dave Elder-Vass understands why so many things have both values and prices. Here he engages classical debates about the theory of value even as he analyzes contemporary examples of value creation and destruction in venture capital, bitcoin, and subprime securitizations. People intrigued by the mysteries of modern finance will find much of interest here.' Bruce G. Carruthers, Northwestern University
