The accumulated wealth of Warren Buffet has always been one of the most pertinent criticisms of the efficient market hypothesis. In an

Until a few years ago, despite the wealth accumulated by Warren Buffet and other acolytes of the Benjamin Graham school of investing, the concept of companies having fundamental value was highly controversial. In recen

In model 2C, and as Graham, Buffet and others have discovered, also in real life, poorly performing capital is simply written down. Companies are allowed to retain some of their real

Since at least the time of Keynes, investment and saving have been at the heart of macroeconomic modelling, and this is true of neo-classical and other heterodox modelling, not just
