Investing Group: Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics

Описание: The Investing Discussion Group explores bestselling books that can help you reach your financial goals faster. Moderator Kristen Jacks takes attendees through meaningful topics in a lively, jargon-free format.

The book referenced in this discussion is Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics by Richard H. Thaler, Nobel Laureate, and professor of Economics at the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business.

Economic theory underpins investing, but what if economic theory is flawed? Throughout his career, Richard Thaler has argued that our most cherished economic theories rely too heavily on man acting rationally when humans are emotional and prone to bias. Misbehaving is Thaler’s arresting, frequently hilarious account of the struggle to bring an academic discipline back down to earth―and change the way we think about economics, ourselves, and our world.
