"I never write Metropolis for seven cents because I can get the same price for city. I never write policeman because I can get the same money for cop."

| |  | | | From The Publisher
The stock market is big news. More than 50 percent of the American public own stocks directly or indirectly, and the financial well-being of tens of millions of people is tied to the market. In Alan Greenspan's words, it is impossible to understand the modern economy without understanding the stock market.
This wasn't always the case. Many people alive today can remember a very different time, when the stock market was a primitive insider's game, a trading floor viewed by most Americans with skepticism and suspicion. In Toward Rational Exuberance, B. Mark Smith offers an engrossing account of the colorful personalities, dramatic reversals, and revolutionary ideas that have generated this radical transformation. A professional stock trader himself. Smith has two decades of practical experience working for the best investment companies in the business. Woven into his narrative of the market's history is an analysis of the popular theories that have influenced how the public invests, and Smith shows how some of these theories -- built on faulty interpretations of market history -- continue to lead investors astray. Freshly updated and more timely than ever, this is the definitive account of the market's true history and its dangerous myths.
