Adaptive Markets: Financial Evolution at the Speed of Thought by Andrew W. Lo

5.0

Let me start by saying that Economics, particularly Behavior Economics is a subject that I love. It started with Freakonomics, but I think I’ve read more that ten books on the topic (full list below).
Having that said, this book is not for everybody, but it is one of the best books I’ve read about the subject ever. Not only it presents a ground-breaking hypothesis for how the markets work, but a compelling one, with real-life implications and proposals.
