First, people largely ignore the prospect of future change when it involves something about which little is widely known. Second, individuals assume that the existing state of opinion as expressed in prices and the character of output is based on a correct summation of future prospects; it is accepted unless and until something new and relevant enters the picture. Third, people endeavor to conform to the behavior of the majority or the average. Keynes said the psychology of a society of individuals endeavoring to copy one another produces ìconventional judgment.îAccording to Keynes, investor di¢ culty forecasting the future leads to an inability to form pricing that avoids ìsudden and violent changes. … The forces of disillusion may suddenly impose a new conventional basis of valuation. … At all times the vague panic fears and equally vague and unreasoned hopes are not really lulled, and lie but a little way below the surface.î A commonly held belief, assumed for an extended period, tends to lead to complacency that breeds booms; the dispelling of the notion produces the bust. Therefore, a conventional wisdom that leads to a speculative mania can quickly collapse as sentiment turns on its head. Case in point: Shadow banking liabilities were believed to be ìjust as goodîas traditional bank deposits, not because they really were, but because they had been leading up to the crisis.” RELATED: http://conversableeconomist.blogspot.com/2013/02/maybe-too-big-to-fail-but-not-too-big.htmlhttp://www.twitpic.com/cjge1z

They're wrong, but to acknowledge the truth would be to admit that GOP efforts like voter-ID laws are wholly unnecessary. The trouble comes when Republican activists try to test their theories.

His group's second album, Genocide and Juice, first came to life as backing tracks for the late provocateur Gil Scott-Heron. Yet the deeply committed activist, a leading voice of the Occupy Oakland movement, says he'd rather make music that reflects his own optimism. There's a cheerleader vibe to “The Magic Clap,” the first single from the Coup's sixth album, Sorry to Bother You, and the band (led by co-producer Damion Gallegos) strays far outside the currently accepted notion of hip-hop.
