Reviews

W. Fred van Raaij seeks to describe the foundations of our financial actions and, in turn, provide direction toward improved public policies, better regulation for consumer protection, and more trustworthy financial practices. ... For psychologists, the book offers a handy guide to how economists think about the determinants of financial behaviors ... . I also see van Raaij's book as a supplemental text for graduate courses in finance and as highly recommended reading for professional financial advisers. (Len Tashman, PsycCRITIQUES, Vol. 61 (46), November, 2016)
