ISBN: 9780199290895 / Angielski / Miękka / 616 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych.

Famous First Bubbles: The Fundamentals of Early Manias
ISBN: 9780262571531 / Angielski / Miękka / 175 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The jargon of economics and finance contains numerous colorful terms for market-asset prices at odds with any reasonable economic explanation. Examples include "bubble," "tulipmania," "chain letter," "Ponzi scheme," "panic," "crash," "herding," and "irrational exuberance." Although such a term suggests that an event is inexplicably crowd-driven, what it really means, claims Peter Garber, is that we have grasped a near-empty explanation rather than expend the effort to understand the event. In this book Garber offers market-fundamental explanations for the three most famous bubbles:...
