Shiller’s latest book, Animal Spirits: How Human Psychology Drives the Economy, and Why It Matters for Global Capitalism (February 2009), was coauthored with 2001 Nobel Prize-winning economist George A. Akerlof. In 2008, Shiller published The Subprime Solution (Princeton University Press, September 2008), which explains the housing market’s collapse and broader impact, and proposes bold measures to solve both the current crisis and the underlying economic weaknesses that made it possible. His 2000 book, Irrational Exuberance, a New York Times best-seller, accurately predicted the dot-com bubble’s collapse.
