Quote of the day: Shiller on economic delusions

Economists who adhere to rational-expectations models of the world will never admit it, but a lot of what happens in markets is driven by pure stupidity – or, rather, inattention, misinformation about fundamentals, and an exaggerated focus on currently circulating stories.
- Robert Shiller, "Debt and Delusion"
