More Money Than God

Hedge Funds and the Making of the New Elite

By: Sebastian Mallaby

Wealthy, powerful, and potentially dangerous, hedge-find managers have emerged as the stars of twenty-first century capitalism. Based on unprecedented access to the industry, More Money Than God provides the first authoritative history of hedge funds. This is the inside story of their origins in the 1960s and 1970s, their explosive battles with central banks in the 1980s and 1990s, and finally their role in the financial crisis of 2007-9. Hedge funds reward risk takers, so they tend to attract larger-than-life personalities. Jim Simons began life as a code-breaker and mathematician, co-authoring a paper on theoretical geometry that led to breakthroughs in string theory. Ken Griffin started out trading convertible bonds from his Harvard dorm room. Paul Tudor Jones happily declared that a 1929-style crash would be 'total rock-and-roll' for him. Michael Steinhardt was capable of reducing underlings to sobs. 'All I want to do is kill myself,' one said. 'Can I watch?' Steinhardt responded. A saga of riches and rich egos, this is also a history of discovery. Drawing on insights from mathematics, economics and psychology to crack the mysteries of the market, hedge funds have transformed the world, spawning new markets in exotic financial instruments and rewriting the rules of capitalism. And while major banks, brokers, home lenders, insurers and money market funds failed or were bailed out during the crisis of 2007-9, the hedge-fund industry survived the test, proving that money can be successfully managed without taxpayer safety nets. Anybody pondering fixes to the financial system could usefully start here: the future of finance lies in the history of hedge funds.

Matching minors in bipartite graphs

By: Wiederrecht, Sebastian

In this thesis we adapt fundamental parts of the Graph Minors series of Robertson and Seymour for the study of matching minors and investigate a connection to the study of directed graphs. We develope matching theoretic to established results of graph minor theory: We characterise the existence of a cross over a conformal cycle by means of a topological property. Furthermore, we develope a theory for perfect matching width, a width parameter for graphs with perfect matchings introduced by Norin. here we show that the disjoint alternating paths problem can be solved in polynomial time on graphs of bounded width. Moreover, we show that every bipartite graph with high perfect matching width must contain a large grid as a matching minor. Finally, we prove an analogue of the we known Flat Wall theorem and provide a qualitative description of all bipartite graphs which exclude a fixed matching minor. In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden fundamentale Teile des Graphminorenprojekts von Robertson und Seymour für das Studium von Matching Minoren adaptiert und Verbindungen zur Strukturtheorie gerichteter Graphen aufgezeigt. Wir entwickeln matchingtheoretische Analogien zu etablierten Resultaten des Graphminorenprojekts: Wir charakterisieren die Existenz eines Kreuzes über einem konformen Kreis mittels topologischer Eigenschaften. Weiter entwickeln wir eine Theorie zu perfekter Matchingweite, einem Weiteparameter für Graphen mit perfekten Matchings, der von Norin eingeführt wurde. Hier zeigen wir, dass das Disjunkte Alternierende Pfade Problem auf bipartiten Graphen mit beschränkter Weite in Polynomialzeit lösbar ist. Weiter zeigen wir, dass jeder bipartite Graph mit hoher perfekter Matchingweite ein großes Gitter als Matchingminor enthalten muss. Schließlich zeigen wir ein Analogon des bekannten Flat Wall Theorem und geben eine qualitative Beschreibung aller bipartiter Graphen an, die einen festen Matching Minor ausschließen.

Nowhere Dense Classes of Graphs

Characterisations and Algorithmic Meta-Theorems

By: Siebertz, Sebastian

We show that every first-order property of graphs can be decided in almost linear time on every nowhere dense class of graphs. For graph classes closed under taking subgraphs, our result is optimal (under a standard complexity theoretic assumption): it was known before that for all classes C of graphs closed under taking subgraphs, if deciding first-order properties of graphs in C is fixed-parameter tractable, parameterized by the length of the input formula, then C must be nowhere dense. Nowhere dense graph classes form a large variety of classes of sparse graphs including the class of planar graphs, actually all classes with excluded minors, and also bounded degree graphs and graph classes of bounded expansion. For our proof, we provide two new characterisations of nowhere dense classes of graphs. The first characterisation is in terms of a game, which explains the local structure of graphs from nowhere dense classes. The second characterisation is by the existence of sparse neighbourhood covers. On the logical side, we prove a rank-preserving version of Gaifman's locality theorem. The characterisation by neighbourhood covers is based on a characterisation of nowhere dense classes by generalised colouring numbers. We show several new bounds for the generalised colouring numbers on restricted graph classes, such as for proper minor closed classes and for planar graphs. Finally, we study the parameterized complexity of the first-order model-checking problem on structures where an ordering is available to be used in formulas. We show that first-order logic on ordered structures as well as on structures with a successor relation is essentially intractable on nearly all interesting classes. On the other hand, we show that the model-checking problem of order-invariant monadic second-order logic is tractable essentially on the same classes as plain monadic second-order logic and that the model-checking problem for successor-invariant first-order logic is tractable on planar graphs. Wir zeigen, dass jede Eigenschaft von Graphen aus einer nowhere dense Klasse von Graphen, die in der Präadikatenlogik formuliert werden kann, in fast linearer Zeit entschieden werden kann. Dieses Ergebnis ist optimal für Klassen von Graphen, die unter Subgraphen abgeschlossen sind (unter einer Standardannahme aus der Komplexitätstheorie). Um den obigen Satz zu beweisen, führen wir zwei neue Charakterisierungen von nowhere dense Klassen von Graphen ein. Zunächst charakterisieren wir solche Klassen durch ein Spiel, das die lokalen Eigenschaften von Graphen beschreibt. Weiter zeigen wir, dass eine Klasse, die unter Subgraphen abgeschlossen ist, genau dann nowhere dense ist, wenn alle lokalen Nachbarschaften von Graphen der Klasse dünn überdeckt werden können. Weiterhin beweisen wir eine erweiterte Version von Gaifman's Lokalitätssatz für die Prädikatenlogik, der eine Übersetzung von Formeln in lokale Formeln des gleichen Ranges erlaubt. In Kombination erlauben diese neuen Charakterisierungen einen effizienten, rekursiven Lösungsansatz für das Model-Checking Problem der Prädikatenlogik. Die Charakterisierung der nowhere dense Graphklassen durch die oben beschriebenen Überdeckungen basiert auf einer bekannten Charakterisierung durch verallgemeinerte Färbungszahlen. Unser Studium dieser Zahlen führt zu neuen, verbesserten Schranken für die verallgemeinerten Färbungszahlen von nowhere dense Klassen von Graphen, insbesondere für einige wichtige Subklassen, z. B. für Klassen mit ausgeschlossenen Minoren und für planare Graphen. Zuletzt untersuchen wir, welche Auswirkungen eine Erweiterung der Logik durch Ordnungs- bzw. Nachfolgerrelationen auf die Komplexität des Model-Checking Problems hat. Wir zeigen, dass das Problem auf fast allen interessanten Klassen nicht effizient gelöst werden kann, wenn eine beliebige Ordnungs- oder Nachfolgerrelation zum Graphen hinzugefügt wird. Andererseits zeigen wir, dass das Problem für ordnungsinvariante monadische Logik zweiter Stufe auf allen Klassen, für die bekannt ist, dass es für monadische Logik zweiter Stufe effizient gelöst werden kann, auch effizient gelöst werden kann. Wir zeigen, dass das Problem für nachfolgerinvariante Prädikatenlogik auf planaren Graphen effizient gelöst werden kann.

Mobilizing Regions, Mobilizing Europe

Expert Knowledge and Scientific Planning in European Regional Development

By: Sebastian M. Buettner

Regional development strategies are becoming more similar all around Europe, even though regional differences are more pronounced than ever and many European regions have become more autonomous actors. This thesis of a peculiar standardized diversification of sub-national space in the modern European Union is the point of departure of this book. Based upon the analytical premises of Stanford School Sociological Institutionalism, Sebastian M. Büttner studies regional mobilization in contemporary Europe from a new and innovative perspective. He highlights the importance of scientific expertise and global scientific models in contemporary regional development practice, and exemplifies their significance with the example of region-building in Poland in the course of EU integration. This new wave of regional mobilization is not just conceived as an effect of local, national or European politics, but as an expression of a larger conceptual shift in governing society and space. This well researched and clearly argued book not only provides fresh insights into region-building and regionalization in contemporary European space, but also contributes to the new sociology of Europeanization. It will be an illuminating read for scholars and students in Sociology, European and EU studies, International Relations, Cultural Studies, Geography, Regional Science, Polish Studies and related subject areas.

The Power Law

Venture Capital and the Making of the New Future

By: Sebastian Mallaby

Shortlisted for the Financial Times Business Book of the Year “A gripping fly-on-the-wall story of the rise of this unique and important industry based on extensive interviews with some of the most successful venture capitalists.” - Daniel Rasmussen, Wall Street Journal “A must-read for anyone seeking to understand modern-day Silicon Valley and even our economy writ large.” -Bethany McLean, The Washington Post "A rare and unsettling look inside a subculture of unparalleled influence.” —Jane Mayer "A classic...A book of exceptional reporting, analysis and storytelling.” —Charles Duhigg From the New York Times bestselling author of More Money Than God comes the astonishingly frank and intimate story of Silicon Valley’s dominant venture-capital firms—and how their strategies and fates have shaped the path of innovation and the global economy Innovations rarely come from “experts.” Elon Musk was not an “electric car person” before he started Tesla. When it comes to improbable innovations, a legendary tech VC told Sebastian Mallaby, the future cannot be predicted, it can only be discovered. It is the nature of the venture-capital game that most attempts at discovery fail, but a very few succeed at such a scale that they more than make up for everything else. That extreme ratio of success and failure is the power law that drives the VC business, all of Silicon Valley, the wider tech sector, and, by extension, the world. In The Power Law, Sebastian Mallaby has parlayed unprecedented access to the most celebrated venture capitalists of all time—the key figures at Sequoia, Kleiner Perkins, Accel, Benchmark, and Andreessen Horowitz, as well as Chinese partnerships such as Qiming and Capital Today—into a riveting blend of storytelling and analysis that unfurls the history of tech incubation, in the Valley and ultimately worldwide. We learn the unvarnished truth, often for the first time, about some of the most iconic triumphs and infamous disasters in Valley history, from the comedy of errors at the birth of Apple to the avalanche of venture money that fostered hubris at WeWork and Uber. VCs’ relentless search for grand slams brews an obsession with the ideal of the lone entrepreneur-genius, and companies seen as potential “unicorns” are given intoxicating amounts of power, with sometimes disastrous results. On a more systemic level, the need to make outsized bets on unproven talent reinforces bias, with women and minorities still represented at woefully low levels. This does not just have social justice implications: as Mallaby relates, China’s homegrown VC sector, having learned at the Valley’s feet, is exploding and now has more women VC luminaries than America has ever had. Still, Silicon Valley VC remains the top incubator of business innovation anywhere—it is not where ideas come from so much as where they go to become the products and companies that create the future. By taking us so deeply into the VCs’ game, The Power Law helps us think about our own future through their eyes.

Jewish Encounters with Buddhism in German Culture

Between Moses and Buddha, 1890–1940

By: Sebastian Musch

In Germany at the turn of the century, Buddhism transformed from an obscure topic, of interest to only a few misfit scholars, into a cultural phenomenon. Many of the foremost authors of the period were profoundly influenced by this rapid rise of Buddhism—among them, some of the best-known names in the German-Jewish canon. Sebastian Musch excavates this neglected dimension of German-Jewish identity, drawing on philosophical treatises, novels, essays, diaries, and letters to trace the history of Jewish-Buddhist encounters up to the start of the Second World War. Franz Rosenzweig, Martin Buber, Leo Baeck, Theodor Lessing, Jakob Wassermann, Walter Hasenclever, and Lion Feuchtwanger are featured alongside other, lesser known figures like Paul Cohen-Portheim and Walter Tausk. As Musch shows, when these thinkers wrote about Buddhism, they were also negotiating their own Jewishness.

De Facto State Identity and International Legitimation

By: Sebastian Klich

Examining the state identity formation and international legitimation of de facto states, this book provides a deeper understanding of the relationship between de facto states, the international state system and international society. The book integrates International Relations theories to construct a framework of normative standing for de facto states, to better understand the social system they inhabit and the stasis in their relationship with international society, demonstrated through detailed case study analysis. Klich appraises the recognition narrative of de facto states in order to analyse their state identities, and constructs a framework for normative standing in an original synthesis of English School, constructivism and legitimacy scholarship. The explanatory utility of that framework is then applied and analysed through detailed fieldwork conducted across an original set of case studies ― Nagorno Karabakh, Somaliland, and the Kurdistan Region of Iraq ― that have varying degrees of international engagement and parent state relationships. It will be of interest to scholars and students of International Relations, International Relations theory, Peace and Conflict studies, Comparative Politics, as well as Middle Eastern studies, East African studies, and Post-Soviet studies.

Cultivating Belief

Victorian Anthropology, Liberal Aesthetics, and the Secular Imagination

By: Sebastian Lecourt

Write a review Read reviews Take a Quiz Solve Book Puzzle

Cultivating Belief

Victorian Anthropology, Liberal Aesthetics, and the Secular Imagination

By: Sebastian Lecourt

This book explores how a group of Victorian liberal writers that included George Eliot, Walter Pater, and Matthew Arnold became attracted to new theories of religion as a function of race and ethnicity. Since the early modern period, British liberals had typically constructed religion as a zone of personal belief that defined modern individuality and interiority. During the 1860s, however, Eliot, Arnold, and other literary liberals began to claim that religion could actually do the most for the modern self when it came as a kind of involuntary inheritance. Stimulated by the emerging science of anthropology, they imagined that religious experiences embedded in race or ethnicity could render the self heterogeneous, while the individual who insisted upon selecting his or her own beliefs would become narrow and parochial. By rethinking the grounds of religion, this book argues, these writers were ultimately trying to shift liberal individualism away from a classical Protestant liberalism that celebrated interiority and agency and toward one that valorized eclecticism and the capacity to keep multiple values in play. More broadly, their work offers us a new picture of secularization, not as a process of religious decline, but as the reinscription of religion as an ordinary feature of human life—like art, or politics, or sex—whose function could be debated.

How Does Confucian Dynamism Influence National Innovativeness

By: Sebastian Walter

Master's Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Economics - Innovation economics, grade: A, University of Auckland, course: International Business, language: English, abstract: A country’s rate of technological change and advancement is a major determinant for its economic development (Freeman, 1994; Romer, 1990; Solow, 1957). Therefore, policy-makers need to understand what drives the technological change and advancement of the countries they administrate. Of the many factors that affect a society’s ability to invent and advance, one that has yet received limited attention is national culture. Furthermore, managers of multinational firms implicitly face the selection of a cultural context when selecting favourable locations for their business activities. If national culture had a positive influence on innovative activities, it should be considered in location decisions for innovative activities. Therefore, this paper explores the relationship between certain aspects af a nation's culture and it's innovativeness.
