  • “We show that the most turbulent times of the Global Financial Crisis can be very well characterized by . . . the assertions of the Fractal Market Hypothesis.” - L. Kristoufek, “Fractal Markets Hypothesis and the Global Financial Crisis: Wavelet Power Evidence,” Scientific Reports 2013

Patterns in the Dark: Understanding Risk and Financial Crisis with Complexity Theory, (also titled Complexity Risk and Financial Markets in paperback), Wiley 1999
