Shiller"Review"There is barely a page of ANIMAL SPIRITS without a fascinating fact or insight, and by no means all from a reflexively liberal viewpoint." AnnotationNotable economists George Akerlof and Robert Shiller show how a little bit of governmental guidance can go a long way towards fixing the malfunctioning world economy. Using the term John Maynard Keynes used to describe the collective pessimism which resulted in the Great Depression, Akerlof and Shiller demonstrate that "animal spirits" drive the global markets much more than the rationality which is assumed by most economic theorists. Therefore, according to the authors, it is the responsibility of government to take a more active role in educating citizens about their financial options and preventing foolish patterns of investing and spending which have long-range international ramifications. Short DesriptionFrom blind faith in ever-rising housing prices to plummeting confidence in capital markets, 'animal spirits' are driving financial events worldwide. This book challenges the economic wisdom that got us into this mess, and puts forward a vision that can transform economics and restore prosperity.
