Het begrip 'Animal Spirits' (psychologische drijfveren) was in de jaren dertig de verklaring van econoom Keynes voor het grillige menselijk handelen voor en tijdens de Grote Depressie: eerst de euforie en het optimisme, daarna de massale verkoop van aandelen, consumenten die in paniek al hun geld bij de bank weghaalden met als gevolg grote werkeloosheid.

Phishing for Phools explores the central role of manipulation and deception in fascinating detail in each of these areas and many more. It thereby explains a paradox: why, at a time when we are better off than ever before in history, all too many of us are leading lives of quiet desperation. At the same time, the book tells stories of individuals who have stood against economic trickery--and how it can be reduced through greater knowledge, ref...

Fin dai tempi di Adam Smith, il pensiero economico ha tessuto le lodi del libero mercato che, quasi fosse governato da una mano invisibile, riuscirebbe a conciliare la ricerca dell'interesse personale con il benessere dell'intera società, trasformando il vantaggio individuale in bene comune. A questa concezione idilliaca lanciano una sfida radicale due premi Nobel dell'economia, George Akerlof e Robert Shiller, sostenendo che i mercati ci proc...
