“The application of psychoanalysis to sociology must definitely guard against the mistake of wanting to give psychoanalytic answers where economic, technical, or political facts provide the real and sufficient explanation of sociological questions. On the other hand, the psychoanalyst must emphasize that the subject of sociology, society, in reality consists of individuals, and that it is these human beings, rather than abstract society as such, whose actions, thoughts, and feelings are the object of sociological research.” GivingHumansRealFactsFeelingsHandsRealityActionPoliticalIndividualHuman BeingsAnswersMistakeEconomicSubjectsObjectsResearchExplanationSufficientAbstractApplicationSociologyPsychoanalysisThoughts And FeelingsSociologicalPsychoanalytic Author:Erich Fromm

“The New Finance focused on the market's major systematic mistake. In failing to appreciate the strength of competitive forces in a market economy, it over estimates the length of the short run. In doing so, it overreacts to records of success and failure for individual companies, driving the prices of successful firms too high and their unsuccessful counterparts too low.” RunningIndividualForceMistakeCompanyEconomySuccessfulRecordsFailingMajorsLowsAppreciateFocusedDrivingFinanceFirmLengthSuccess And FailureSystematicUnsuccessfulCounterpartsMarket Economy Author:Robert Haugen
