This second edition presents the advances made in finance market analysis since 2005. The book provides a 
careful introduction to stochastic methods along with approximate ensembles for a single, historic time series. 
The new edition explains the history leading up to the biggest economic disaster of the 21st century. Empirical 
evidence for finance market instability under deregulation is given, together with a history of the explosion 
of the US Dollar worldwide. A model shows how bounds set by a central bank stabilized FX in the gold standard 
era, illustrating the effect of regulations. The book presents economic and finance theory thoroughly and 
critically, including rational expectations, cointegration and arch/garch methods, and replaces several of 
those misconceptions by empirically based ideas. This book will be of interest to finance theorists, traders, 
economists, physicists and engineers, and leads the reader to the frontier of research in time series analysis.
