For some
little time now I have wondered about how far quantum physics and theoretical
economics are apart or intermingled. One
reason was that the "uncertainty principle" certainly applied to
economics and therefore financial markets.
It did seem to
explain all the ups and downs, booms and busts, inexplicable successes and
failures and all that if you were able to work out just how.
Now it is time to start again because it is claimed that quantum physics is a
lot easier than it was thought to be. So
if wave particle duality is at the heart of one can it be at the heart of the
other? And how does it work in fields
that appear to be splintered and in opposition?
This could
take a long time to work out, first there is what entropic uncertainty
relations are in this new set up. So
when political canvassers call ask them what their party position is on this subject
in terms of policy on financial regulation.
You might just
start something.
The other similarity with wave particle duality is that you can't be sure where a particle is until it crashes into something real.
