They feel out of touch with things that are in and happening in the adolescents world. Above all, they are in constant fear of their children experimenting with drugs, alcohol and sex.

The author has rather preferred to follow, and to work out, one particular line of thought, to wit: the idea that the instincts, as they are defined on page 38 of this book, are the spring and basis of all animal behaviour (with the exception perhaps of play), and therewith the core of the animal's mind, and that individual experience, gathered by the animal in (less)

It's far more important to understand the behaviour and biases of the players - their actions and motivations are the vital components that drive everything; bubbles, crashes, huge fortunes, reckless borrowing and complex instruments and strategies, all flow from this simple fact. And the markets are not just an external object, to be studied dispassionately under a microscope.
