"A great analysis and explanation of all the noneconomic, non-rational elements that affect motivation and activity... and thereby affect the economy. The authors sharply criticize traditional macroeconomic models for their failure to explain the sharp booms and busts that have always characterized economies and offer alternative explanations and policy prescriptions that more accurately reflect and address actual human behavior. Emphasis is places on the role of fairness, stories, corruption, and other "animal spirits" that motivate economic decisions."
"The title comes from John Maynard Keynes explanation of how emotion and confidence affect the economy. This book explain recent economic events showing how people are not always the rational actors assumed in economic models. I thought the chapters on saving and "money illusion" were quite good. They were not as successful in explaining their issues with the natural rate of unemployment."
"Nice summary/explanation of over-looked Keynesian theory. Akerlof and Shiller introduce the animal spirits and at a high level show how they answer key questions in macro and how they drove the 2008 financial crisis.
While a little light on detail, this timely book points to areas for further research and will no doubt be one of the first of many to offer alternatives to the now maligned if not discredited efficient markets theory."
