From the Inside Flap
The investigation into the economic implications of the lizard brain began in the late 1970s—and led to a 2002 Nobel Prize in Economics being awarded to the scholars of this new approach—but only recently have individual investors and market professionals begun to exploit these findings to explain, analyze, and predict market direction. In contrast to old–school assumptions of cool–headed rationality, the new school embraces hot–blooded human irrationality as a core feature of both individuals and financial markets.
Mean Markets and Lizard Brains converts cutting–edge intellectual developments into practical investment steps. Filled with in–depth insights and real–world advice, this guide:
- Provides a timeless blueprint for effective and low–stress investing through a thorough examination and explanation of the lizard brain.
- Summarizes the key findings of the science of irrationality and reveals the biological forces that cause even the smartest of people to make systematic mistakes.
- Sets the macroeconomic stage for choosing investments, with discussions of the economy, inflation, and the value of the U.S. dollar.
- Evaluates investments based on understanding how the lizard brain operates in today′s global macroeconomic landscape.
By understanding and taming the lizard brain, you can position yourself to prosper in financial markets that often seem downright mean. Mean Markets and Lizard Brains skillfully identifies the craziness that is part of human nature, helps us see it in ourselves, and then shows us how to profit from a world that doesn′t always make sense.
