The Winner's Curse: Paradoxes and Anomalies of Economic Life by Richard H. Thaler

5.0

This books collects some of the papers that [a:Richard H. Thaler|65483|Richard H. Thaler|http://www.goodreads.com/assets/nophoto/nophoto-U-50x66.jpg] authored with various colleagues in the "Anomalies" series of the Journal of Economic Perspectives over the period 1987-1990, investigating behaviours which could not be accounted for by the standard economics paradigm. In spite of the time that has gone by, many of the anomalies are still relevant today. Of the academic journals published by the American Economic Association, this is the one more oriented to a general readership, making this a very accessible book to non economists.
