Irrational exuberance by Robert J Shiller ( Book )
42 editions published between 2000 and 2009 in 4 languages and held by 2,586 libraries worldwide
"Robert J. Shiller offers an unconventional interpretation of recent U.S. stock market highs and shows that Alan Greenspan's term "irrational exuberance" is a good description of the mood behind the market. He warns that poorer performance may be in the offing and tells us how we - as a society and individually - can respond." "Irrational Exuberance is for individual investors as well as investment professionals, pension-plan sponsors, and endowment managers everywhere. It will be studied by policy makers and anyone from Wall Street to Main Street who doesn't want to be caught sitting on the speculative bubble if (or when) it bursts."--Jacket.

Animal spirits : how human psychology drives the economy, and why it matters for global capitalism by George A Akerlof ( Book )
17 editions published between 2009 and 2010 in 3 languages and held by 1,593 libraries worldwide
Akerlof and Shiller reassert the necessity of an active government role in economic policymaking by recovering the idea of "animal spirits" (i.e. human psychology) and making it work for and not against us. They detail the most pervasive effects of animal spirits in contemporary economic life--such as confidence, fear, bad faith, corruption, a concern for fairness, and the stories we tell ourselves about our economic fortune--and show how Reaganomics, Thatcherism, and the rational expectations revolution failed to account for them. The authors then offer a road map for reversing the financial misfortunes besetting us today.

The subprime mortgage crisis of 2007-2008 has already wreaked havoc on the lives of millions and threatens to derail the U.S. economy and economies around the world.

Animal spirits wie Wirtschaft wirklich funktioniert by George A Akerlof ( Book )
3 editions published in 2009 in German and held by 93 libraries worldwide
Viel zu lange hat die Ökonomie einen der wichtigsten Faktoren im wirtschaftlichen Agieren von Menschen vernachlässigt: die Animal Spirits, also die nicht-rationalen Aspekte unseres Handelns. Ein großer Fehler, sagen George A. Akerlof und Robert J. Shiller, dessen Folgen wir in der Wirtschaftskrise täglich neu zu spüren bekommen. Sie fordern, das Verhalten des Menschen in der Wirtschaft wieder stärker zu berücksichtigen, anstatt sich auf reinen Marktglauben zu konzentrieren. Dieses Buch ist das Ergebnis ihrer langjährigen Forschungsarbeit. Es zeigt uns, wie erfolgreiches ökonomisches Denken und Handeln in der Zukunft aussehen muss. George A. Akerlof ist Professor für Wirtschaftswissenschaften in Berkeley und erhielt 2001 den Wirtschaftsnobelpreis, zusammen mit Joseph E. Stiglitz und Michael Spence. Robert J. Shiller ist Ökonomieprofessor in Yale. Bei Campus erschienen von ihm bislang" Irrationaler Überschwang"(2000) und" Die neue Finanzordnung"(2003). (VLB).
