Animal Spirits - How Human Psychology Drives the Economy and Why It Matters for Global Capitalism

Robert J. Shiller, George A. Akerlof

Beschreibung

From acclaimed economists George Akerlof and Robert Shiller, the case for why government is needed to restore confidence in the economyThe global financial crisis has made it painfully clear that powerful psychological forces are imperiling the wealth of nations today. From blind faith in ever-rising housing prices to plummeting confidence in capital markets, "animal spirits" are driving financial events worldwide. In this book, acclaimed economists George Akerlof and Robert Shiller challenge the economic wisdom that got us into this mess, and put forward a bold new vision that will transform economics and restore prosperity.Akerlof and Shiller reassert the necessity of an active government role in economic policymaking by recovering the idea of animal spirits, a term John Maynard Keynes used to describe the gloom and despondence that led to the Great Depression and the changing psychology that accompanied recovery. Like Keynes, Akerlof and Shiller know that managing these animal spirits requires the steady hand of government—simply allowing markets to work won't do it. In rebuilding the case for a more robust, behaviorally informed Keynesianism, 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 fortunes—and show how Reaganomics, Thatcherism, and the rational expectations revolution failed to account for them.Animal Spirits offers a road map for reversing the financial misfortunes besetting us today. Read it and learn how leaders can channel animal spirits—the powerful forces of human psychology that are afoot in the world economy today. In a new preface, they describe why our economic troubles may linger for some time—unless we are prepared to take further, decisive action.

Psychopath - Sociopaths...

Taylor Hench, Victor Higgins,...

This is a 15-book combo. These are the five subjects that are included:
Subject 1: Many people have wondered what bipolar disorder is or what the symptoms are. While starting out with these simple facts, this guide goes much deeper into the subject. It covers a wide range of subtopics that will help you understand the nature of the disorder better.
Subject 2: When it comes to Borderline Personality Disorder, many people are left in the dark. They still have questions about what it is, what makes it so attractive to start a relationship with a borderliner, or how it differs in men and women.
Subject 3: Many people try to get a grasp of what goes on in the mind of a serial killer. Today, we can at least show you a limited perspective and some solid insights in the workings of their brains. Their reasons, their background, and their murder stories will be exposed to a certain degree.
Subject 4: Are there sociopaths in your life? You bet! You may not recognize them, or they may not be serial killers. Perhaps they are not causing any trouble at all. But to know what to look for, is pretty important, if you ask me. It’s interesting that some people just don’t have that much of a conscience. And every person chooses how to deal with that differently. It can reflect on their actions in different ways.
Subject 5: If you’ve been looking for a book about narcissism, you probably already have an idea of what it is. Still, we’ll define it in this book before we start expanding on the intricate details of such a personality. In part, because there are so many myths about it and the term gets tossed around like a diaper into a trash been, while most people don’t realize what it is all about.
