Zusammenfassung:Akerlof and Shiller reassert the necessity of an active government role in economic policymaking by recovering the idea of "animal spirits" (i.e. human psychology) and making it work for and not against us. 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 fortune--and show how Reaganomics, Thatcherism, and the rational expectations revolution failed to account for them. The authors then offer a road map for reversing the financial misfortunes besetting us today.
