《期货交易经济学》1971年问世时,托马斯·A·海尔奈莫斯(Thomas Hieronymus)说这部书讲述的是“一个几乎被所有大学课程——尤其是商学院和金融学院——所忽略的领域”。这种说法太对了,因为那时人们对期货市场以及与之相关的经济学不仅知之甚少,且缺乏理解。而这部书一问世很快就成为近乎期货交易“圣经”之类的经典之作,不容置疑地被列入每一位“虔诚”的行业人士的必读书目,而托马斯·A·海尔奈莫斯(汤姆)自己也随之成为期货交易领域的“神父”。 When Economics of Futures Trading came out in 1971, Thomas Hieronymus said the book is about “an almost universally owned university course - especially the business school and the financial institute - Ignored areas ”. That’s right, because at that time people did not only know very little and did not understand the futures market and its associated economics. And as soon as the book came out, it became a classic for nearly futures trading, the Bible, indisputably enshrined in the must-read list of every “devout” tradesman, and Thomas A. Haier Nimes (Tom) himself will become the “Father” in the field of futures trading.
