Red Plenty is also (what is a rather different thing) a work of scientist fiction . It is a marketing one, or economical one. Smale has also contributed to mathematical economics. With future dating of commodities, time has almost an artificial role." -- Stephen Smale. He wrote the following in 1976: "A criticism commonly made of economic theory is its failure to make predictions of crises in In the main model of equilibrium theory, say as presented in Gerard Debreu's Theory of Value, economic agents make one life-long decision, optimizing some value. Moreover, interpretation (2) could not be a criterion for science, since the purpose of science is not to advance neither the economy nor technology. While initially the focus was almost entirely on utilitarianism and demand, the focus quickly In order to structure an economic problem within a constrained-maximization framework, one has to specify rationality in a way that is consistent with constrained optimization. The movement to demand and subjective choice theory, and away from supply considerations, was a hallmark of early neoclassical thought. In economics such maximization and minimization problems are put together under the general heading of optimization which means the best possible outcome. It goes without saying that no intellectual pursuit is automatically .. In mathematics the common term for maximum and minimum is extrembrn i.e. But, perhaps because of the unusual accessibility of its open problems, complexity theory seems (I might be wrong) to attract more such naysayers than other mathematical fields. More than that, it's a work of science fiction, where the strangeness of the world comes from its being reshaped by technology and scientific ideas—- here, mathematical and economic ideas.

Subsequent work in optimization theory lets us get away, a bit, from requiring complete and perfectly accurate knowledge in stage (II). Research and economics and finance well know the power and the use of not only mathematical models to capture the intricacies of human and economic interactions but also the use of algorithms and computers to predict the results of such interactions, including product and financial flows and prices. Utility and profit or minimizing something such as cost of producing a given output. My view of portfolio optimization is that of a critical building block for general financial models that can capture complex interactions among agents in the economy.
