Boom and Bust: A Global History of Financial Bubbles

’.29 This madness-of-crowds hypothesis has been refined and expanded by the likes of Kindleberger, John Kenneth Galbraith and, most recently, Nobel Laureate Robert Shiller.30 Shiller and other economists argue that bubbles can largely be explained by behavioural economics, with cognitive failings and psychological biases on the part of investors causing

concern that the equity market was overheating. These gains appeared to be somewhat out of proportion with the money being made by its constituent firms. Robert Shiller’s cyclically adjusted price-to-earnings ratio (CAPE) stood at 28, meaning that S&P 500 companies were, after adjusting for the business cycle, valued

Never Let a Serious Crisis Go to Waste: How Neoliberalism Survived the Financial Meltdown

prominent economists had warned the New York Fed of a housing bubble as early as 2004; in response to one such presentation, Timothy Geithner removed Robert Shiller from the Fed advisory board.75 But the orthodox profession seems loathe to ever admit knowledge is actively policed and purged according to a preset

The roster also included several other prominent neoliberals, such as Raghuram Rajan, Robert Shiller, and Matthew Slaughter. However, significantly, the report was widely trumpeted in the press as eminently “nonpartisan,” justified by pointing to the inclusion of more “centrist

Herring, John Taylor, Jeremy Stein, Andrew Bernard, John Campbell, John Cochrane, Douglas Diamond, Darrell Duffie, Kenneth French, Anil Kashyap, Frederic Mishkin, Raghuram Rajan, David Sharfstein, Robert Shiller, Hyun Song Shin, Matthew Slaughter, and Rene Stulz.124 We could go on and on in this vein, but there is little point in choreographing

regard to the accusation that “most economists failed to see the crisis coming,” The Economist averred that some had indeed issued warnings, and explicitly named Robert Shiller, Nouriel Roubini, and the “team at the Bank for International Settlements.” This set off the starting gun for a veritable silly season of all manner

and Justin Fox’s Myth of the Rational Market. Some economists who had been strong advocates of behavioral approaches prior to the crash, such as Robert Shiller and Robert Frank, leaped in with op-eds essentially blaming the entire crisis on native cognitive weaknesses of market participants.37 This line became entrenched

with the appearance of George Akerlof and Robert Shiller’s Animal Spirits: displaying an utter contempt for the history of economic thought, they “reduced” the message of Keynes’s General Theory to the proposition

people may have different views about the value of an asset.” As we might expect from a consistent neoclassical, he also repudiates his Yale colleague Robert Shiller’s appeals to irrational exuberance and the madness of crowds, suggesting Shiller did not avail himself of exploration of what was going on “beneath” the

Similar ideas were promoted in the curiously titled Occupy Handbook, which included chapters by Raghuram Rajan, Tyler Cowen, Martin Wolf, David Graeber, Jeffrey Sachs, and Robert Shiller.6 Besotted by the millenarian idea of starting anew, and lacking any sense of the history of protest and political organization, both neoliberals and neoclassical

nature are rather unself-conscious and aboveboard in the writings of the contemporary proponents of financial engineering, such as Robert Litan, Barry Eichengreen, and Robert Shiller.45 Because Shiller had become anointed by the media as the exemplar of an economist who had presciently warned of the housing bubble before it burst, the

As his graduation from
