	A new, evolutionary explanation of markets and investor behavior

Half of all Americans have money in the stock market, yet economists can't agree on whether investors and markets are rational and efficient, as modern financial theory assumes, or irrational and inefficient, as behavioral economists believe. The debate is one of the biggest in economics, and the value or futility of investment management and financial regulation hangs on the answer. In this groundbreaking book, Andrew Lo transforms the debate with a powerful new framework in which rationality and irrationality coexist-the Adaptive Markets Hypothesis. Drawing on psychology, evolutionary biology, neuroscience, artificial intelligence, and other fields, Adaptive Markets shows that the theory of market efficiency is incomplete. When markets are unstable, investors react instinctively, creating inefficiencies for others to exploit. Lo's new paradigm explains how financial evolution shapes behavior and markets at the speed of thought-a fact revealed by swings between stability and crisis, profit and loss, and innovation and regulation. An ambitious new answer to fundamental questions about economics and investing, Adaptive Markets is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand how markets really work. "[Adaptive Markets] is very well written, striking a right balance between education and teaching."---Mathis Mörke, Markets and Portfolio Management "[Adaptive Markets] delivers an important contribution to the ongoing discussion about the EMH in a very entertaining way."---Christoph Kaserer, Journal of Economics "[A] remarkable new book. . . . [Lo's] insights should allow investors and regulators alike to manage risks better. They should read it."-John Authers, Financial Times  "Lo's book offers a unique way to think about the idea of 'efficient markets'-a new hypothesis worth considering about how markets can be rational and irrational at the same time."-Andrew Ross Sorkin, New York Times "A fascinating read, cogently situating financial behaviour within what we know about human behaviour and evolutionary history."-Diane Coyle, Nature "A convincing argument."-The Economist
