"The real financial technology that works to eliminate risk is that which works to spread them out, to pool them & share them among many different people. The ideal that theory suggests--the perfect financial system--would have all of our risks pooled completely. Nobody suffers alone. If anything happens to me and my livelihood, it's spread out over the whole world."

huh.

The audio is so damn low, I've got everything turned up all the way and I have a hard time hearing.

catching up can be done pretty quickly

laurel, lecture 4 is another one that would be nonsense without the visuals

I would ignore the early math and just try to understand the graph used in the lecture

I highly recommend listening to the one with guest-lecturer Carl Icahn just so you can hear him talking about how the execs of most companies are idiot frat boys who didn't rock the boat.

standford also doing something similar this semester http://venturelab.stanford.edu/finance. sounds like fewer lectures but more substantial problems.

I worked through loads of these, but managed to lose most of the lectures I downloaded.
