Finance and the Good Soc=ety

Monday= April 29, 2013 at noon

Professor Shiller needs little int=oduction. Ever since the publication of his bestselling Irrational Exu=erance in 2000, which discussed speculative bubbles and predicted the te=h stock meltdown of 2000-2002, and Subprime Solution: How the Global Cri=is Happened and What to Do about It, he has become a leading figure in t=e fields of finance and investments. He also co-developed the Case-Shi=ler Home Price Index, now published by Standard & Poor’s, which has =ecome the standard for tracking home sales and prices.

In Finance and the Good Society, Professor =hiller argues that while many have damned the finance industry for rampant=self-interest and a tendency to prey on people's flawed thinking for its o=n benefit, it should be overhauled to make sure finance serves the greater=good. The key he says is to democratize finance--giving the rest of us acc=ss to the tools and techniques that rich folks have used for decades to ra=se capital and protect themselves from risk. In his book, Professor Shille= comes across as pragmatic as well as visionary, explaining how much finan=ial capitalism has done for society and how much more it could do if harne=sed for the common good.

Rob=rt Shiller received his B.A. from the University of Michigan in 1967 and h=s Ph.D. from M.I.T. in 1972. He has been a Yale professor since 1982. Unti= recently he was the Arthur M. Okun Professor of Economics, but has just b=en named Sterling Professor of Economics at Yale by outgoing President Ric=ard Levin.

His book, Finance and the Good Society= will be available for sale at the luncheon.
