How Capitalism Was Built: The Transformation of Central and Eastern Europe, Russia, and Central Asia
By Anders Aslund. Cambridge University Press; 384 pages; $25.99 and £15.99
A rich and detailed chronicle of the unsteady transition from central planning to market economies, with a particularly good chapter on the rise of the Russian oligarchs and how they differ from the 19th-century American robber barons.
offers his take on how the paradigm has shifted
In the latest of DealBook's "Another View" opinion columns, Alan Patricof, the prominent venture capitalist and managing director of Greycroft Partners, offers his take on how the paradigm has shifted for the venture business.
"Correlation is not causation." This mantra, chanted by scientists for more than a century, has led to a virtual prohibition on causal talk. Today, that taboo is dead. The causal revolution, instigated by Judea Pearl and his colleagues, has cut through a century of confusion and established causality -- the study of cause and effect -- on a firm scientific basis. His work explains how we can know easy things, like whether it was rain or a sprinkler that made a sidewalk wet; and how to answer hard questions, like whether a drug cured an illness. Pearl's work enables us to know not just whether one thing causes another: it lets us explore the world that is and the worlds that could have been. It shows us the essence of human thought and key to artificial intelligence. Anyone who wants to understand either needs The Book of Why.
