Irrational exuberance by 10554906|Robert J. Shiller book cover

📘 Irrational exuberance

"In this update of his 2000 bestseller, Irrational Exuberance, Robert Shiller returns to the topic that gained him international fame: market volatility. Shiller breaks new ground in this second edition by laying out in even clearer and starker terms the market excess that continue to destabilize the economy and disrupt our lives." "Building on the original edition, Shiller draws out the psychological origins of volatility in financial markets, this time folding real estate into his analysis. He broadens the evidence that investing in capital markets of all kinds in the modern free market is inherently unstable - subject to the profoundly human influences captured in Alan Greenspan's now-famous phrase, "irrational exuberance."" "The ultimate solution to this troubling condition, he maintains, would involve better-designed public institutions such as a revamped social security system, new forms of insurance to protect people's incomes and homes, and a broader array of investment options."--BOOK JACKET
