The Jolly Swagman Podcast Part 1

Ed Glaser is Professor of Economics at Harvard University. He has thought deeply about the question of rationality in housing bubbles.

But is it true? Is there a chance that the fabled peroxisms of irrational exuberance in their time looked little different to an average day on the board of trade?
