The reputation of the financial industry could hardly be worse than it is today in the painful aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. New York Times best-selling economist Robert Shiller is no apologist for the sins of finance--he is probably the only person to have predicted both the stock market bubble of 2000 and the real estate bubble that led up to the subprime mortgage meltdown. But in this important and timely book, Shiller argues that, rather than condemning finance, we need to reclaim it for the common good. He makes a powerful case for recognizing that finance, far from being a parasite on society, is one of the most powerful tools we have for solving our common problems and increasing the general well-being. We need more financial innovation--not less--and finance should play a larger role in helping society achieve its goals.

Challenging the public and its leaders to rethink finance and its role in society, Shiller argues that finance should be defined not merely as the manipulation of money or the management of risk but as the stewardship of society's assets. He explains how people in financial careers--from CEO, investment manager, and banker to insurer, lawyer, and regulator--can and do manage, protect, and increase these assets. He describes how finance has historically contributed to the good of society through inventions such as insurance, mortgages, savings accounts, and pensions, and argues that we need to envision new ways to rechannel financial creativity to benefit society as a whole.

Ultimately, Shiller shows how society can once again harness the power of finance for the greater good.

Endorsements:

"Finance and the Good Society is a provocative call for understanding, then reinventing finance as a force that could create inclusive prosperity. Shiller acknowledges the excesses, inequalities, and unfortunate incentives to sleaziness in the current financial system but says it doesn't have to be that way. An important book for those who seek change."--Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Harvard Business School Professor and author of SuperCorp: How Vanguard Companies Create Innovation, Profit, Growth, and Social Good

"Drawing from history, economic theory, and keen observation of our economy, Robert Shiller brings a fresh perspective to a big issue--the role of finance in our society. He urges us to overcome the popular misperception that all finance is sleazy and to think broadly about how we can harness its power for the benefit of society as a whole."--Darrell Duffie, Graduate School of Business, Stanford University

"Many MBA students are fascinated by the world of finance but wary of entering it because they perceive it as declining and marred by unethical behavior. This book will show them why finance is and should be a vital part of the good society's solution, rather than its problem. No other book does this with more authority or credibility."--Shlomo Maital, professor emeritus, Technion-Israel Institute of Technology

"This is an overflowing feast of ideas and facts--from Adam Smith to neuroscience to casino design--that will convince intelligent readers who think of finance as an arcane subject that it is not just interesting but even entertaining."--Robert Wade, London School of Economics and Political Science

lucy推荐的书,终于决定拿来翻一翻,写的挺亲民的,浅显易懂,主要目的是给非金融人士讲解,金融圈里面的各种角色都在干什么的,顺便为各种金融人士抱不平,毕竟作者自己也是金融圈儿的人,这也好理解。而这种为金融人士鸣不平的心态,作为广告人,我也能理解一点,毕竟广告人...

罗伯特希勒的巨著《金融与好的社会》很早就买了并且从头到尾拜读,文字平实,条理轻易,深入浅出,读后令人感触良多。之后在网上看过他的公开课,他的翩翩学者风度和渊博的学识让我深深折服。2012年他获得诺贝尔经济学奖提名遗憾未能获奖,2013年终于获此殊荣。2014年他在中国...

经济危机后重新审视Financial sector在社会经济中如何扮演积极角色。比较浅,入门专用

评分

首先我要承认,像我这样连怎么积累财富都没有学会的人当初鬼上身般想看这本书实在太过天真。这就有如一个“术”没有学好的人妄图破解“道”的尝试注定要落空。其次,或许大多数学者在研究到了一定份儿上都会转而更加偏重“道”的分析,大概这种高屋建瓴的姿态给予他们无限成就感。看这本书的感觉就和研究生上包政的课,许多慕名而来想听包老师讲如何挽救企业而听到全是“契约精神”“社会演变”的MBA感受是一样的。

It is a book for general audience with explanations to common bias against financial world.

读的算是第一本经济学的书(上一本是Thinking, Fast and Slow,当心理跟行为看…)。总的来说,开了眼界,很开心(重点)。这本书展现的是big picture,经济,市场对这个社会的作用以及影响。对金融工具的描述很有趣,尤其是听到作者拼命呐喊着(误)金融工具真的对社会很狠狠有用!!做金融可以出于使命感而不是单纯赚钱!觉得很可爱哈哈…(BTW,我信他)。慢慢练习从另外一个角度去看这个社会,去思考概率、风险跟回报,社会发展、社会平等~除了哲学跟社会学的角度以外第一次看到各种问题的另一面~很开心!书里面的描述有些是关于统计的,不知道是不是因为因为本身做的东西跟统计和误差有点联系所以比较容易get到他所描述的理想的社会(完善的金融系统多种多样的工具),觉得好像不错耶www~
