Animal Spirits: How Human Psychology Drives the Economy, and Why It Matters for Global Capitalism (New in Paper) Best Quality


From the hype around the book, I had expected it to be a book of great insight and perspective.
Instead, I found a book that was extremely disappointing! They presented their thesis as if it was the best thing since sliced bread...and yet I found it shallow and biased.
Most of their commentary about "animal spirits" could be called common sense. Of course, psychological factors have a place in economy! It does not take a rocket scientist to understand that! But what about moral factors? Dishonesty? Greed? Corruption? Nary a word.
However, these clearly Keynesian authors also have their agenda which in these days of moral and fiscal decadence I simply do not trust -- more government involvement in and regulation of the economy!
If you are looking for a book with great insight, look around for something else. This one is best left to animal spirits...Get more detail about Animal Spirits: How Human Psychology Drives the Economy, and Why It Matters for Global Capitalism (New in Paper).
