内容简介:
In this revised, updated, and expanded edition of his New York Times bestseller, Nobel Prize-winning economist Robert Shiller, who warned of both the tech and housing bubbles, now cautions that signs of irrational exuberance among investors have only increased since the 2008-9 financial crisis. With high stock and bond prices in the United States, and rising housing prices in many countries, the post-subprime boom may well turn out to be another illustration of Shiller’s influential argument that psychologically driven volatility is an inherent characteristic of all asset markets. In other words, Irrational Exuberance is as relevant as ever.
But Irrational Exuberance is about something far more important than the current situation in any given market because the book explains the forces that move all markets up and down. It shows how investor euphoria can drive asset prices up to dizzying and unsustainable heights, and how, at other times, investor discouragement can push prices down to very low levels.
Previous editions covered the stock and housing markets–and famously predicted their crashes. This new edition expands its coverage to include the bond market, so that the book now addresses all of the major investment markets. This edition also includes updated data throughout, as well as Shiller’s 2013 Nobel Prize lecture, which puts the book in broader context.
In addition to diagnosing the causes of asset bubbles, Irrational Exuberance recommends urgent policy changes to lessen their likelihood and severity–and suggests ways that individuals can decrease their risk before the next bubble bursts. No one whose future depends on a retirement account, a house, or other investments can afford not to read it.

原文摘录:
人们认为他们知道的总是比实际的要多。他们喜欢对自己一无所知的事情表达观点，并在这些观点的指导下采取行动。
长期以来，心理学家们都在探究为什么人们看起来总是信心过度。一种理论认为，在评价其结论的正确性时，人们往往注意到其推理的最后一步是正确的，全然不顾推理中其他部分可能的错误。
人们有时会在一些并无逻辑的想法的基础上做出一些严肃的决定。人们在一块还未掷的硬币上下的赌注要大于在已经掷过的硬币（结果还未公布）上下的赌注。在被问及人们要多少钱才愿意转让已持有的彩票时，如果是自己挑的数字，他们说出的价格会高四倍以上。很明显，人们认为在某种程度上他们能影响还未投掷的硬币，也能通过选择数字影响赢得彩票的可能性。
信心过度的另一表现形式是，人们在不确定的情况下，假定将来的模式会与过去相似并寻找熟悉的模式来做出判断，并且不考虑这种模式的原因或者模式重复的概率。人们判断中的这一不正常现象，称为启发性代表因素，这在心理学家特弗斯基和卡赫尼曼的许多实验中得到了验证。
例如，这些研究者让人们从一张写有人名和个人特征描述的列表中猜测这些人的职业。如果给出的特征是艺术性和敏感，他们就会选择指挥或雕塑家，而不会猜工人和秘书，完全不考虑从事前两种工作的人极少，因而成为答案的可能性也就很小。在回答这类问题时，永远不猜指挥或雕塑家这类职业会更为明智，因为其出现的概率太小。人们都将目光投向最符合特征描述的职业，而全然不顾出现的概率。 (查看原文)

实用主义价值观本身与股市没有任何逻辑关系。不管是不是实用主义者，人们都会很合乎情理地为将来攒钱，并为存款寻找最佳投资渠道。但实用主义气氛很可能会影响人们对长期以来一直被认为具有迅速敛财能力的股票的需求。这一实用主义气氛已经改变了我们的文化。现在人们对成功的商业人士的尊重相当或更甚于杰出科学家、艺术家、革命家。投资股票是迅速致富的捷径这一想法对重新出现的实用主义者来说有相当大的诱惑力。 (查看原文)
