At this point you are being disingenuous. Actually read comments if you are going to reply to them. The specifics of financing oil and gas are called out...It's not nonsense, but it's based on financial theory so elementary it's taught in the first couple weeks of 101.
10% of financial and economic theory (at most...) powers 99% of financial services. People (like me..) take entire degrees in this stuff and one class would have more than sufficed. That is absolutely not true in computer science, for example.

- danielmarkbruce 2y agoThat's true - but if they take a class on networking or operating systems or distributed systems or (insert lots of courses here) they aren't being taught nonsense that doesn't work... and those disciplines mentioned are used to build the systems that applications run on top of, ie those areas are foundational to the overall system. In finance & economics, all the courses one doesn't need to take isn't material that they can just build on top of because of nice abstractions - they are nonsense that literally isn't used in industry... maybe they are akin to research done in software engineering rather than computer science...
- Pannoniae 2y agoActually that's kinda true. In software, the vast majority (maybe the 90%) of things they teach and people learn are either snake oil, cargo culting or just suboptimal. I think it's true for many other fields, too.
