From the world-famous inventor of fractal geometry, a revolutionary new theory that turns on its head our understanding of how markets work.

With his fractal tools, Benoit Mandelbrot has got to the bottom of how financial markets really work. He finds they have a shifting sense of time, a unique dimension and a wild kind of behaviour that makes them volatile, dangerous - and also beautiful.
