The complexity community and Wall Street in one person — which is also this record's whole thesis about where the ideas travel
This is Jonathan Hare's account, with its provenance shown. The person or organization named has not yet claimed or corrected it.
Michael Mauboussin — Chief Investment Strategist at Credit Suisse First Boston in the era this record covers — was known to Jonathan Hare first through the Santa Fe Institute, which is the detail the record cares about: the complexity community and the top of Wall Street were the same small set of rooms, and Mauboussin stood in both. He was on Hare's analyst rounds in late 2000 alongside Charles Phillips. The dictation spells him 'Maubissoun'; the correction is published in the source record's notes, per the convention. His account is the standing ask.
