Szyszka provides an excellent introduction to this intellectual conflict [between the dominant neoclassical and upstart behavioral paradigms] and the basic contours of the theoretical and empirical grounds upon which the battle is taking place. The text offers something for just about any reader interested in a better understanding of capital markets, whether undergraduate students considering a future in finance, graduate students forming their own research agenda, or professionals in finance wanting to develop better predictive models or simply gain a better grasp of current academic debates about market behavior.
