Chapter Chapter 3 in Postmodern Portfolio Theory, 2016, pp 27-38 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract Modern portfolio theory, its name notwithstanding, needs a thorough renovation. The reaction of an informed contemporary critic to this venerable model of financial analysis would be comparable to that of a postmodern architect who encounters the naked geometry of a Brutalist monument for the first time: the edifice has nice “bones,” so to speak, but it needs to be rebuilt with human needs and emotions in mind before anyone will live in it.1
