Irrational Exuberance 3rd Edition
What if the greatest threat to your wealth isn’t the market—but your own mind? In Irrational Exuberance, Nobel laureate Robert Shiller exposes how euphoric investor herds and media-fueled delusions fuel boom-and-bust cycles that vaporize lifetimes of savings. When algorithms amplify our deepest fears and desires, can anyone escape the financial reckoning hurtling toward us—or are we all just speculators in a global Ponzi scheme of our own making?

But when stability masks stagnation and risk hides reward, which path leads to true freedom—and which leaves you enslaved to a system designed to drain your dreams?
