Irrational Exuberance is a book written by Robert Shiller, a Nobel prize-winning economist. The book examines the dynamics of stock prices, housing prices, and other assets in the US economy, and explains how their movements can affect the entire economy. Throughout the book, Shiller argues that stock prices have been driven by irrational exuberance, or excessive optimism, leading to bubbles, crashes, and extreme volatility in the market. He also explores how stock prices can affect consumer spending, corporate decision making, and other aspects of the economy. He provides insight into how to identify and avoid irrational exuberance and offering policy recommendations to help manage economic instability. Ultimately, his goal is to help readers gain a better understanding of the stock market, the economy, and their own investments.
