Entende a crise financeira global

Based on a popular undergraduate seminar, entitled Financial Booms & Busts, taught by the author at Yale University, Boombustology presents a multi-disciplinary framework for identifying unsustainable booms and forthcoming busts.
The magnitude of our recent financial crisis mandates a firm understanding of this phenomenon before the next crisis occurs. Boombustology provides an in-depth look at several major booms and busts and offers a solid framework for thinking about future occurrences.

• Examines why booms and busts are not random and can therefore be identified
• Focuses upon various theoretical and disciplinary lenses useful in the study of booms and busts
• Contains a framework for thinking about and identifying forthcoming financial bubbles including several tell-tale indicators of a forthcoming bust.
• Illustrates the framework in action by evaluating China as a potential bubble in the making. 

If you want to make better decisions in today’s turbulent investment environment, understanding the dynamics of booms and busts is the best place the start.  Boombustology can help you achieve this elusive goal.

From the Inside Flap

THE WORLD IS in the midst of an accelerating sequence of booms and busts, and despite these developments, no organized multidisciplinary framework exists for thinking about them.With the increased complexity and volatility surrounding financial bubbles, we need a more effective way to spot, and understand, these events. Based on his popular seminar at Yale University, Boombustology presents Vikram Mansharamani's multi-lens framework fore valuating the extremely elaborate social phenomenon of financial market booms and busts.
Unlike other finance books—which discuss making day-to-day investment decisions or the optimal strategy for a particular market—Boombustology will help you identify the "needle-moving" extremes that have the potential to render many traditional investment approaches useless.

• Divided into three comprehensive parts, this reliable resource: Develops five lenses—based upon the findings of various disciplines, from economics and psychology to politics and biology—that can be combined to evaluate financial extremes
• Examines the power of the multi-lens framework by applying it to five historical cases—Tulipomania, the Great Depression, the Japanese "Bubble Economy," the Asian Financial Crisis, and the U.S. Housing Boom and Bust—and demonstrates how the multidisciplinary approach might have helped to better understand these events as they took place
• Illustrates the framework in action by evaluating China as being in the midst of a potentially unsustainable boom

The framework found within these pages offers a robust understanding of the dynamics that precede, fuel, and ultimately reverse financial market extremes. Regardless of your economic or financial background, Boombustology will put you in a better position to spot financial bubbles before they burst.
