Brilliant. So much information from a person with a real passion for his subject.

It is an insightful book by Nobel Prize-winning economists George A. Akerlof and Robert J. Shiller.

Phishing For Phools has been one of my best eye opening books 📚

@1:58 Nice ovation for Professor Shiller!

Great stuff: finally an economist realises what marketers have known for a long time - people are really suckers.

Adam Smith talked about this 250 years ago. The Wealth of Nations is not 1k pages dedicated to the wonders of free markets.

Great lecture

[@Alexhanshuai]

he is very keen to behavioral economics,that surely identifies economics are not really science,just human behavior.somebody made it complicated

[@radzid]

raises good questions.

great speech, very interesting. they definitely should investigate movies for behavioral cues, they're everywhere. i like the idea of regulators however we dont really have any regulation in the usa, they've all been captured by their industries. think GMO and FDA, vacine saftey and CDC, the obvious failures there recently discovered vs a vis the mmr vacine. and now regulators are thinking of banning vitamins in favor of big pharma. so regulation is good, wish we had some that actually wasn't politicized and corrupted. theres the next book, regulation and corruption a behavioral study...i'd buy that

I don't think they take the analysis anywhere near far enough, and he's doing too much soft talk and apologizing

[@johnnybizaro1]

+Mike Vincent I think it depends on your level of understanding.

[@distopiadnb]

+Mike Vincent the theory behind is what matters - those who don't understand it talk about tones and posture.
