How could a couple of physicists in sandals and 'Eat the Rich' T-shirts hope to take on Wall Street? All they knew was that global finance is an irrational system bordering on chaos. But since Doyne Farmer and Norman Packard were among the founders of chaos theory, perhaps they could give it a try. Now, many millions of dollars later, they continue one of the most significant winning streaks on Wall Street. Thomas Bass first made readers aware of cult heroes Farmer and Packard in The Newtonian Casino when he chronicled their assault on the casinos of Las Vegas. Their new adventures gambling on Wall Street will delight anyone who has ever dreamed of finding that edge to beat the system.
