QOTW: Debt and Delusion
In yesterdays afternoon reads, I linked to Bob Shillers article Debt and Delusion. The same paragraph (below) was emailed back to me so many times, I had to make it our quote of the week:
Economists who adhere to rational-expectations models of the world will never admit it, but a lot of what happens in markets is driven by pure stupidity – or, rather, inattention, misinformation about fundamentals, and an exaggerated focus on currently circulating stories.
