Lena: Hey everyone, welcome to another personalized deep dive from BeFreed-today we're tackling one of the biggest questions on everyone's mind: are we witnessing an AI boom or are we staring down the barrel of another spectacular bubble?
Eli: Oh, this is going to be fascinating! I mean, we've got all these warning signs flashing-from Harvard Business Review calling out circular financing deals to the Bank of England literally saying we might be heading for a "sharp market correction." But here's what I love about this topic-it's not just about numbers and valuations, it's about human psychology and how we collectively lose our minds when new technology appears.
Lena: Exactly! And we've got some incredible insights to work with today, from Robert Shiller's classic work on market psychology to Carlota Perez's framework on how technological revolutions actually unfold. This isn't just speculation-there are real patterns here.
