	Thaler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In 1837, the Prussian Thaler became part of a new currency used in southern Germany and the Rhineland, with the Gulden (equal to 4/7 Thaler) as the standard unit of account.
		As silver flooded into the European economy from domestic and overseas sources, Thalers and Thaler-sized coins were minted all over with equivalent coins such as the crown, daalder from which the English word dollar is derived, krona, and eventually the peso being issued and in widespread use.
		Indeed, in England the word dollar was in use for the Thaler for 200 years before the issue of the United States dollar, and until the half crown ceased to be used following decimalisation in 1971, the term "half a dollar" could be heard for "half a crown".

	Richard Thaler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thaler has also organized a series of behavioral finance seminars along with Robert Shiller, another behavioral finance expert at the Yale School of Management.
		Thaler gained some attention in the field of economics for publishing a regular column in the Journal of Economic Perspectives from 1987 to 1990 titled "Anomalies", in which he documented individual instances of economic behavior that seemed to violate traditional microeconomic theory.
		Thaler also is the founder of an asset management firm [2] that enables a select group of investors to capitalize on cognitive biases such as the endowment effect, loss aversion and status quo bias.

	Physicist William Thaler Dies; Worked on Nuclear Arms Tests (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		William J. Thaler, 79, a Georgetown University physicist who was a hero of the period when Americans were gravely worried about the threat of Soviet missiles and nuclear attacks, died of a stroke June 5 in his Centreville home.
		Thaler burst onto the public scene like a supernova in 1959 when the Defense Department announced that the 33-year-old Navy physicist had discovered a way for radar to "see" over the horizon to detect enemy missiles up to 5,000 miles away.
		After he achieved a measure of fame, Dr. Thaler urged high school students to consider physics as a career, adding that "you don't have to be a genius or a near-genius" to be good at the work.

		Maria Theresa's thaler coin had its origins in the 16th century as well, when the first Habsburg thalers were minted in an empire that then included Central Europe, the Low Countries and Spain with its American dominions.
		The Maria Theresa thaler was similarly enmeshed in political intrigue, hoarded in subterranean chambers and used by European governments in the purchase and rental of such strategic Arabian Sea and Red Sea ports as Aden and Massawa.

		Richard Thaler is one of the foremost behavioral economists.
		Thaler offers a highly insightful analysis of the various anomalies in capital market behavior that appear to be inconsistent with the standard economic assumptions built into the efficient capital markets hypothesis and the capital asset pricing model.
		Thaler calls them anomalies since each defies 'classical' economic theory, generally the notion that markets are efficient and participants know what they are doing.

		Using high-energy lasers borrowed from the 'Star Wars' initiative, Thaler was able to grow single crystals of diamond as well as convert the native carbon within tungsten carbide and high-speed steel tools to the diamond phase.
		Thaler has proposed such neural cascade as a canonical model of consciousness in which the former net manifests what can only be called a stream of consciousness while the second net develops an attitude about the cognitive turnover within the first net (i.e., the subjective feel of consciousness).
		Of course, if Thaler is correct about his technology (i.e., US Patent 5,659,666) providing a working model of creative human cognition, then we can expect the application of these novel AI techniques to every aspect of human endeavor.

		Thaler and Cronqvist’s only quibble with the default fund is that it leaned too heavily toward Swedish firms’ stocks.
		Good thing the default was intelligently designed, Thaler and Cronqvist say, because given human nature and a tendency to stick with the status quo or procrastinate, defaults attract a disproportionate market share; in Sweden the default received the highest market share—33 percent—of any fund.

		The Maria Theresa Thaler (MTT) coin, which has been used in world trade continuously since the first minted in 1741, has considerably extended the fame of Empress Maria Theresa, who ruled Austria, Hungary, and Bohemia from 1740 to 1780.
		It was one of the first coins used in the United States and probably contributed (along with the Spanish eight-bit dollar and the Straits dollar) to the US choice of a dollar as the main unit of currency.

		The key to Kaplan Thaler's formula for a breakthrough ad is what she calls The Big Bang: an idea that disrupts, has immediate impact and can't be ignored.
