"Shiller has proved even bolder than we thought. . . . His
ambitions are global and systemic. Shiller wants nothing less than
to inspire and guide the redesign of the world financial system.
"The New Financial Order" is ... a step-by-step description of what
should be done to limit the damage done to people, and even entire
nations, by capitalism's creative destruction."--Peter Coy,
"Business Week"
"Robert Shiller has the remarkable ability to think
independently and the courage to propose ideas that to middlebrow
thinkers may sound speculative. Think of what your reaction would
have been had someone discussed risksharing (insurance) before it
became popular. . . . Throughout his career Shiller has stood for
unpopular ideas and has been proven right (his 1981 paper on
volatility, his 2000 discussion of the bubble). I would read and
re-read this book."--Nassim Nicholas Taleb, author of "Fooled by
Randomness: The Hidden Role of Chance in the Markets and in
Life"
"Bob Shiller has done it again. In "The New Financial Order," he
tells how innovations in risk management can better the lives not
just of the rich, but of the poor and the middle class, insuring
against the most serious risks that face us all. There is something
for everyone in this brilliant book. It foretells where financial
markets are headed in the coming century."--George A. Akerlof,
Goldman Professor of Economics, University of California, Berkeley,
and Nobel Laureate in Economics
"As the worldly philosophers of the past affirmed, the goal of
economics is to improve the way society functions. In "The New
Financial Order," Robert Shiller joins this proud tradition by
directing his brilliant economic skills towardthe creation of
financial institutions designed to reduce the risks an unknown
future visits on most members of our society and others. Shiller's
imaginative and compelling analysis will appeal to all readers who
share his passion for initiating not only a richer, but a better,
century."--Peter L. Bernstein, author of "Against the Gods: The
Remarkable Story of Risk"
"Robert Shiller's book, "The New Financial Order," is an
important work on a significant topic."--Joseph E. Stiglitz, author
of "Globalization and its Discontents," and Nobel Laureate in
Economics
"This is one of those rare books that really captures the
imagination by offering fresh ideas, that makes you think and at
the same time is rigorous and serious. It's hard to exaggerate how
unusual and exciting this is to a reader. One of the book's real
joys is the way it captures the passion of economics for making
people's lives better."--Diane Coyle, author of "The Weightless
World and Sex, Drugs, and Economics"
"Shiller is a real visionary, and this book will be widely read
and discussed. It suggests a remedy for a situation begging to be
remedied: we live in an age of great material wealth, but equally
great economic insecurity."--Herbert Gintis, University of
Massachusetts, Amherst, and the Santa Fe Institute
"Robert Shiller's book, "The New Financial Order," is an
important work on a significant topic."--Joseph E. Stiglitz, author
of "Globalization and its Discontents, and Nobel Laureate in
Economics"
