Peter Kraus CEO
My name is Peter Kraus. For over 30 years, I have been engaged with financial markets, macroeconomic structures, and the systemic patterns of political and institutional decision-making. I am less interested in isolated market movements than in the mechanisms through which capital flows are directed, risks are redistributed, and power structures within the financial industry are maintained or shifted.
At the core of my work is the analysis of transparency, structural ruptures, and the long-term interactions between economic, political, and cultural systems. I do not view markets as isolated price-formation processes, but as complex social systems in which rules, narratives, and institutional incentives shape the behavior of participants.
My perspective combines practical market experience with an analytical approach informed by historical structural comparisons, recurring patterns, and cultural expectation frameworks. I am less concerned with short-term outcomes than with understanding how decision-making logics emerge—and why they continue to reproduce themselves even when their limitations have long been exposed.
Alongside my analytical work, I regularly publish reflective and analytical texts examining market mechanisms, power structures, and systemic cognitive distortions. These writings are not intended as forecasts or recommendations, but as an attempt to clarify relationships, concepts, and assumptions that are often simplified or distorted in public discourse.
I am the founder and CEO of Amygdalus GmbH.
