Animal Spirits 
By Robert J. Shiller
With Nobel Prize winner George A. Akerlof, Robert Shiller has written a book about "how human psychology drives the economy, and why it matters for global capitalism." This extremely timely book (as usual for Professor Shiller—he predicted the collapse of both of the bubbles in the past decade) explains the forces behind our current financial crisis and offers a road map for reshaping the global financial system in ways that account for how people and markets really work.
