Beyond Mechanical Markets: Asset Price Swings, Risk, And The Role Of The State (Book Review), Adrian Ravier

Journal of New Finance

In its opening section, Frydman and Goldberg’s book lays out important methodological contributions questioning the hypothesis of rational expectations, constructed on the basis of the writings of Knight, Keynes and Hayek. But in the second part, it does not propose a convincing model that would help avoid the formation of new financial bubbles. While accepting to some extent that the government entity has no greater knowledge than economic agents, it ignores the perverse public-sector incentives that James M.
