The economics of the stock market
Thursday 13 January 2022 | 17:00 - 18:00 | Webinar
The Economics of the Stock Market is both a textbook on how the stock market works and offers a new approach to economic theory. In this session Andrew Smithers will demonstrate that the stock market has a central role in determining business behaviour. It is therefore radically different from the neoclassical consensus, in which the stock market plays no role.
The book's revolutionary approach is underlined in Andy Haldane’s foreword, which claims that it provides “just the sort of revisionist thinking” that economics, investment management and policymaking communities need.
