Goods from the East, 1600-1800: Trading Eurasia - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Maxine Berg, Felicia Gottmann, Hanna Hodacs, Chris Nierstrasz خلاصه: The imperative of the long-distance seaborne trade of Europeans, from the age of exploration, was to acquire the goods of the exotic East – the silks and porcelains and tea of China, the spices of the spice islands and the textiles of India. Goods from the East focuses on the trade in fine products: how they were made, marketed and distributed between Asia and Europe. This trade was conducted by East India Companies and many private traders, and the first Global Age that resulted deeply affected European consumption and manufacturing. This book provides a full comparative and connective study of Asia's trade with a range of European countries. Its themes relate closely to issues of fine manufacturing and luxury goods in the current age of globalization. Goods from the East brings together established scholars, such as Jan de Vries, Om Prakash and Josh Gommans, and a new generation of researchers, who together look into the connections between European consumer cultures and Asian trade.

Quantitative trading with r: understanding mathematical and computational tools from a ... quant's perspective - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Georgakopoulos, H خلاصه: The primary tools that quants and traders rely on to perform their daily activi- ties include intuition, data, computer hardware, computer software, mathematics, and finance. They utilize these tools in ingenious ways as a means to an end. The end, of course, is the generation of consistent profits in the financial markets. Many traders have done well for themselves by relying on intuition alone. But intuition alone, on average, will not yield superior results. A tool chest of sorts is required in order to maximize the quant/trader’s chances of producing consistent and favor- able outcomes. A programming language is one such tool. In this book, we will learn how to wield the R programming language for the purposes of manipulating data, performing math operations, automating workflows, displaying informative visualizations, creating reproducible results, and doing lots of other cool stuff. The R language R [88] is an open-source scripting language that has become very popular among statisticians, data science practitioners, and academics over the years. It is a func- tional programming language by nature, but it also supports the object oriented and imperative programming paradigms. 1 In some sense, R is both a program- ming language as well as a development framework. The framework has support for some advanced graphing capabilities and provides access to multiple state-of-the- art statistical packages. The language itself supports conditional statements, loops, functions, classes, and most of the other constructs with which VBA and C++ users are familiar. The plethora of contributed packages by third parties, a solid user-base, and a strong open-source community are some other key strengths of R. The R system can be divided into two conceptual parts:

Automated Trading with R: Quantitative Research and Platform Development - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Chris Conlan (auth.) خلاصه: This book explains the broad topic of automated trading, starting with its mathematics and moving to its computation and execution. Readers will gain a unique insight into the mechanics and computational considerations taken in building a backtester, strategy optimizer, and fully functional trading platform. Automated Trading with R provides automated traders with all the tools they need to trade algorithmically with their existing brokerage, from data management, to strategy optimization, to order execution, using free and publically available data. If your brokerage’s API is supported, the source code is plug-and-play. The platform built in this book can serve as a complete replacement for commercially available platforms used by retail traders and small funds. Software components are strictly decoupled and easily scalable, providing opportunity to substitute any data source, trading algorithm, or brokerage. The book’s three objectives are: To provide a flexible alternative to common strategy automation frameworks, like Tradestation, Metatrader, and CQG, to small funds and retail traders. To offer an understanding the internal mechanisms of an automated trading system. To standardize discussion and notation of real-world strategy optimization problems. What you’ll learn Programming an automated strategy in R gives the trader access to R and its package library for optimizing strategies, generating real-time trading decisions, and minimizing computation time. How to best simulate strategy performance in their specific use case to derive accurate performance estimates. Important machine-learning criteria for statistical validity in the context of time-series. An understanding of critical real-world variables pertaining to portfolio management and performance assessment, including latency, drawdowns, varying trade size, portfolio growth, and penalization of unused capital. Who This Book Is For This book is for traders/practitioners at the retail or small fund level with at least an undergraduate background in finance or computer science. Graduate level finance or data science students.

Max Weber and Karl Marx - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Karl Lowith خلاصه: Lowith's 1932 essay on Marx and Weber remains the definitive statement of the deep commonalities between these two thinkers. That is, it argues that Weber's central concern is to develop a fundamental theory of capitalism, as with Marx. For decades, it was "necessary" to attempt to parry Marx with Weber. Lowith's stood as an accusation of "bad faith" with regard to all such attempts, especially those who would evacuate Weber of all critique, even if only existential. Derek Sayer's "Capitalism and Modernity" is perhaps most in the spirit of this minor masterpiece.

Sociological Beginnings: The First Conference of the German Society for Sociology - Original PDF
نویسندگان: Christopher Adair-Toteff خلاصه: In 1910, Georg Simmel, Ernst Troeltsch, and others attended the first conference of the German Society for Sociology. Sociological Beginnings offers translations of five of the nine papers given there—with topics ranging from the sociology of sociability to the ways in which sociology might be connected to civic life. The book also contains a noteworthy essay by Max Weber, who while supposedly reporting on the business aspects of the Society instead examined the unpopularity of the profession and proposed a set of tenets that might gain sociologists respect from the rest of the scientific community.
