Michael Shermer’s new book The Mind of the Market is well worth reading. It applies recent developments in evolution and brain research to economics, including such topics as snap purchases, trust, financial decision-making, etc. For those of you without the patience to read the whole thing, here is a video from his speaking appearance at Google on Tuesday of this week.

Shermer recently spoke at our Real Estate Connect conference about how market psychology drove the real estate market boom and bust. Very interesting stuff.
