Toward Rational Exuberance: The Evolution of the Modern Stock Market 10 reviews
B. Mark Smith, 2002
Must Read Material
Mark Smith has succeeded in writing one of the best histories of the stock market certainly in recent times and maybe of all time. The book has rich descriptions of many of the individuals and companies that have shaped the market over the years. But much more importantly, the book has a coherent, important message. Smith argues, quite persuasively, that the history of the stock market can be ...

Affirmations: Joyful And Creative Exuberance 1 review
Paul Kurtz
Prometheus Books, 2004
very very short, but pretty good content
In some sense, this book is 123 pages long. But that is a shame for the forests of the world, because I estimate it has about 40 pages of content. There's a lot of white space in this book!
But to be fair, that's a criticism of the publisher's judgment, not the content. The content is reasonable.
Kurtz hopes that the affirmations (which are marked by bullet points) "can provide guidelines ...

Rational Exuberance : Silencing the Enemies of Growth and Why the Future Is Better Than You Think 10 reviews
Michael Mandel, 2004
Insightful critique of status quo economics
Agree with the thesis and conclusion or not, this book is a thought-provoking criticism of the modern state of economics. The argument is complete and well-formulated. Economists tend to suffer from a kind of 'group-think' phenomenon, where ideas aren't questioned to the same extent as they are in other fields. This book is a breath of fresh air to anyone weary of the everyday fallacies which ...

Get on with it!
I have yet to finish the book but within pages I was both crying and laughing from the EXUBERANCES of the folks highlighted. This is a great reminder to get on with it and stop taking yourself so seriously. I am giving it to many in my family for Christmas.

Exuberance: An Affirmative Philosophy of Life1 review
Paul Kurtz
Prometheus Books, 1985
For a happy life, read this book
Back in 2000 I was a philosophy major in College (SUNY Fredonia), and I took a "human happiness" class. We all read this book in the class and after I finished reading this book my life has changed forever. It is an easy read, and the concepts are ultra easy to follow.
Of all the philosophy books I have ever read this is by far my favorite.
Happy reading...

Irrational Exuberance Reconsidered: The Cross Section of Stock Returns (Springer Finance)
Mathias Külpmann
Springer, 2004
Does the stock market overreact? Recent capital market turbulences have cast doubt whether the behaviour of stock markets is in line with rational investor behaviour. To which extent stock returns are predictable is the question at the heart of the controversy between the paradigms of rational asset pricing and behavioural finance. This new and revised edition discusses the empirical evidence from both perspectives. Theory and empirical analysis ...

Five Hundred and Twelve Chilling Cautionary Tales of Unchecked Exuberance: (Portuguese Witch)1 review
Soren Narnia
AuthorHouse, 2003
Delightfully entertaining dark humor
If you like dark humor, I definitely recommend this well-written collection of short stores. My favorite story is the one about the crazy sales clerk, which I find hilarious. Anyone who has ever worked retail can probably appreciate it. My least favorite story is the one about the sharks who take out their revenge on a hapless killer, but if you like violent humor, you'll enjoy that story. This ...

eBay Conjures Shadows of Irrational 1990s Exuberance in $2.6 Billion Bid to Acquire Skype (Competitive ...
Current Analysis Inc., 2005
Maybe eBay did not get the memo, but bidding billions of dollars for companies that focus on market share over revenue as the primary driver is 1990s gauche. Skype's global penetration is what eBay really wants, but it is not worth the price.
