The Madness of Markets: Why Smart Investors Make Crazy Decisions

Book tickets

Why does the stock market fall when a national football team loses, or rise on a sunny day? From Reddit frenzies to CEO ego trips, global markets are being thrown off course by forces that trip up even the smartest investors. 

Edmans is Professor of Finance at London Business School, a Davos speaker and TED talker reaching millions, and a Wimbledon resident. This is an hour of sharp thinking for anyone making decisions in a world that too often thinks fast, loud and wrong. 

‘Incredibly useful and entertaining’
Rory Sutherland

Alex will be giving a talk followed by audience questions chaired by journalist & columnist Stefan Stern.
