Drawing on behavioral finance theory and contemporary experience, this book explores how bubbles form and subsequently burst. The author introduces a new concept of swings in market temperature defined by the extent of heterogeneity of opinion and soft irrationality, and examines the importance of these swings in the credit markets.
