Merton To the memory of my father, Sam Cleeton, Jr. — David L. Cleeton Foreword Every year dozens of new textbooks are published. No wonder. As Willie Sutton told the judge about why he robbed banks: “That's where the money is.” But only every other decade does there arrive an innovative new work that sets a new pattern of excellence and pedagogy. This edition of Financial Economics has long been expected. And it proves to be ‘well worth the wait. Good teachability like good wine, requires much deliberate time. In the meanwhile, Robert Merton shared the 1997 Nobel Prize in Economics. His was never a case of “if” but only a case of “when,” for it has been well said that Merton is the Isaac Newton of modern finance theory. And ever since their graduate student days at MIT, Rodie and Merton have made a productive team. Speaking as one of their teachers, I hail their demonstrating that water can indeed rise above its source. The kind of finance that matters for modem experts oes beyond the tools that have been revolutionizing Wall Street: the pricing of options and other contingent derivatives. Yes, all that is important practically and theoretically. But as this book’s coverage shows, itis the Main Street econ- omy of production, capital budgeting, personal finance, and rational accouriing tha is best illuminated by this overdue breakthrough in teaching. I moan to myself, “Where were these authors back when I was a student?” Well, the future is longer than the past, and future students will reap the harvest that these innovative teachers have sown, Enjoy!
