Chapter 5 in Trading Thalesians, 2014, pp 83-108 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract When Thales undertook one of the earliest recorded option trades, Aristotle tells us his primary motivation was not to make a large sum of money. Instead, he merely wished to prove that he could use his intellect to do so, after he was mocked about being a poor philosopher (see Chapter 1).
