Sayed Hamid Fatimi's "The Philosophy of Markets" challenges conventional views on trading, suggesting that markets are not neutral but adversarial systems that exploit predictability and emotions. The book emphasizes the importance of understanding market structure, belief, and behavior over traditional analytical methods. It also discusses emerging financial alternatives like crypto and decentralized systems, proposing a shift toward a post-institutional world.
