Written by the Nobel Prize winners in Economics Robert Shiller and George Akerlof, this book shows how deception and manipulation play a big role in the economic behavior of individuals, as well as showing how the assumption of "perfect information" is far away from the truth. Through both quantitative data and stories of how to reduce this noxious phenomenon, the authors paint a pretty different picture of how markets really works in a hyper-communicative scenario like nowadays.

Zu der kurzen Frage „Haben oder Sein?“ entwickelt Erich Fromm in diesem Buch eine tiefgründige Gesellschaftsanalyse, in der er zwei grundsätzliche Existenzformen herausarbeitet: die egoistisch-gewinnorientierte des Besitzens und Verfügens über Dinge und Menschen (Haben) und die altruistisch-solidarische des gebenden Erlebens (Sein). Fromm zeigt, dass unser gegenwärtiges Gesellschafts- und Wirtschaftssystem durch Egoismus, Selbstsucht und Habgier bestimmt ist und unweigerlich zerstörerische Folgen für Mensch und Natur mit sich bringt. Im zweiten Teil des Buches vermittelt er dem Leser durch viele Beispielen Ideen, wie er sich vom „Haben“ in Richtung „Sein“ und damit hin zu einem neuen Menschen entwickeln kann. Im dritten Teil von „Haben oder Sein“ beschreibt Fromm die Voraussetzungen für einen fundamentalen Wandel in Wirtschaft, Politik und Gesellschaft, um die gegenwärtigen Krise zu überwinden und von einer Orientierung am Haben zu einer am Sein zu gelangen.

In this book, distinguished economist Edith Kuiper shows us that the history of economic thought is just that, a his-story, by telling the herstory of economic thought from the perspective of women economic writers and economists. Although some of these women were well known in their time, they were excluded from most of academic economics, and, over the past centuries, their work has been neglected, forgotten, and thus become invisible.
