Peter Day takes a look at why market bubbles occur.
Forever blowing bubbles?
In this edition of In Business Peter Day takes a look at why market bubbles occur and then go bust with monotonous regularity and why we never learn to spot the trouble before it happens.
Among our experts are two brothers, one and economist and one a psychiatrist, to explain how human behaviour plays into these cycles of booms and busts.

We try to make ear-grabbing programmes about the whole world of work, public and private, from vast corporations to modest volunteers.
In Business is all about change. New ways of work and new technologies are challenging most of the assumptions by which organisations have been run for the last 100 years. We try to report on ideas coming over the horizon, just before they start being talked about. We hope it is an exhilarating ride.
