Irrational Markets by Terry Burnham
Terry Burnham, a behavioural economist who has a proven keen ability to translate complex topics into every day language, looks not only at the stock market but at the economy, real estate, bonds, mortgages, and savings, and shows how continued irrationality will have a big impact on all of us and what we can do about it.
