Meir Statman
The Visionary
The future, and what is barely possible, reads round the next corner.
Meir Statman embodies the Visionary by refusing to accept finance's conventional borders. The Glenn Klimek Professor at Santa Clara insists that markets are inseparable from the full texture of human experience, and his portfolio metaphor for life well-being is no borrowed flourish. It is a conceptual bridge he built himself, powered by a self-described passion for cross-domain connections that most financial scholars never attempt, let alone sustain.
“Finance by itself enhances well being, but money is not enough. People want well being, people want life well being — family, education, work, religion, society.”
“I think of life well being kind of like a portfolio. It has stocks or the equivalent of domains — marriage, children, friendship, education — and you look at the portfolio as a whole.”
“One of the pleasures of life is really discovering new things, making connections that other people don't. This is my comparative advantage.”
