In this controversial, hard-hitting account of today’s explosive market, Robert J. Shiller, a leading expert on market volatility, evokes Alan Greenspan’s infamous 1996 reference, “irrational exuberance,” to explain the alternately soaring and declining stock market. Shiller’s unconventional yet persuasive argument credits an unprecedented confluence of events with driving stocks to uncharted heights, and he analyzes the structural, cultural, and psychological factors behind these levels of growth not reflected in any other sector of the economy.

Black Monday was more than seven years in the making and threatened nearly every US financial institution. Drawing on superlative archival research and dozens of original interviews, Diana B. Henriques weaves a tale of missed opportunities, market delusions, and destructive actions.

Rooted in the idea that market price movements aren't random but rather follow identifiable patterns shaped by investor psychology, this theory has gained significant traction.

After the 2008 financial crisis, investment banks and other professional investors had the edge when it came to bailouts and stock trading. The crisis also ushered in a wave of new small-scale retail investors who were hell-bent on crushing the big guys by using social media channels to connect, share ideas, promote stocks, and reap the rewards—Robin Hood-style. But did the meme short squeeze stand a chance in a rigged playing field? This concise, definitive account of a daring Wall Street heist exposes a fight to the death against a fraudulent system.

I once asked a college professor, ''how come you don’t own a single company or small business when you have been the professor of Business and economics for so many years?'' I just got a blank stare in return and knew it was better not to ask any more questions. The reality of life is that people who teach business are not in the actual business while the people who create fortune 500 companies have never set foot in a business class or college. What a strange world we live in that the people who know so much about something don’t have an ounce of that thing in their possession. If the ...

Economics has the capacity to offer us deep insights into some of the most formidable problems of life and offer solutions to them, too. Combining a global approach with examples from everyday life, Partha Dasgupta describes the lives of two children who live very different lives in different parts of the world: the Midwest USA and in Ethiopia. He compares the obstacles facing them and the processes that shape their lives, their families, and their futures. He shows how economics uncovers these processes, finds explanations for them, and how it forms policies and solutions.

Jason McClure is a parent, business owner, and author of five successful books and multiple online courses. He grew up in a household where resources, love, and acceptance were limited.

People spend 80% of their waking lives going to work to earn money that is worthless. Then, on average, workers spend 50% of their wages globally for government via taxation, both direct and confiscatory, which includes social services, healthcare, retirement, etc... Unfortunately, it's all an elaborate hoax that has been designed to fail from the start as all central banks printing fiat currencies are running Ponzi schemes in which people's money and savings can be inflated away, suffocating people in retirement, enslaving them throughout their entire lives, and ending all possibilities of...
