Phishing for Phools: The Economics of Manipulation and Deception. George A. Akerlof & Robert J. Shiller

"[Akerlof and Shiller] want to go far beyond behavioral economics, at least in its current form. They offer a much more general, and quite damning, account of why free markets and competition cause serious problems. . . . They are intellectual renegades. . . . Akerlof and Shiller make a convincing argument that phishing occurs because of the operation of the invisible hand, not in spite of it. . . . [This] extraordinary book tells us something true, and profoundly important, about the operation of the invisible hand."-- New York Review of Books

"No question, Phishing for Phools is a radical book. It may also be a radically important one."--Fortune
