In a study inspired by author's observation of the spiraling out of control
use of mathematics by bankers, financiers and economists, the Western world's
reliance on arithmetic and geometry is traced back, with support from the
works of Medieval historian Alfred Crosby and of Anthropologist of Knowledge
Paul Jorion, to its Medieval and Antiquity roots. The author bases on
different areas such as philosophy with François Jullien's Chinese thought and
Michel Bitbol with his epistemological reflections.
