Recursive Methods in Economic Dynamics

Harvard Business School, 1989

A magnificent work that is bound to have immense influence on the ways economists think about dynamic systems for many years to come. My own guess is that this book will eventually acquire the stature, say, of Hicks's Value and Capital or Samuelson's Foundations.
--Thomas J. Sargent, Hoover Institution

The Nothing That Is: A Natural History of Zero

Oxford University Press, 1999

A symbol for what is not there, an emptiness that increases any number it's added to, an inexhaustible and indispensable paradox. As we enter the year 2000, zero is once again making its presence felt. Nothing itself, it makes possible a myriad of calculations. Indeed, without zero mathematics as we know it would not exist. And without mathematics...

Connecting the Dots: Aligning Projects with Objectives in Unpredictable Times

Harvard Business School, 2003

Are you ever going to see the value promised from your company’s project portfolio?

Quantum Cosmology and Baby Universes

World Scientific Publishing, 1991

Quantum gravity is notoriously a subject where problems vastly outnumber results. This is no surprise at short distances, on the order of the Planck length, where most of us expect quantum fluctuations in the metric to cause space-time itself to lose its meaning and gravity to be subsumed (along with the other so-called fundamental interactions)...

Beyond the Core: Expand Your Market Without Abandoning Your Roots

Growth is not a choice—it’s an imperative. But the risks are substantial. Only a quarter of all...

Rethink: A Business Manifesto for Cutting Costs and Boosting Innovation

FT Press, 2009

It's the trap that ensnares virtually every business. We focus on process: "how" we're doing the job. And we forget about the bigger issue: "what" we're doing and "why" we're doing it. That's why we're leaving so much value on the table. In Rethink, business architect Ric Merrifield...
