Summary: A fascinating discussion of the role played by fear in financial market panics. Professor Read demonstrates, in easy-to-understand terms, that rising market fear portends to major financial declines. He explains the science and the economics of fear and shows that the financial market has learned how to capitalize on investor or economic fear.PPN: PPN: 1657431045Package identifier: Produktsigel: ZDB-1-PEO | ZDB-2-PEF | ZDB-2-SXEF | ZDB-2-SEB | BSZ-2-PEF
