A book warning of a stock bubble was published right as it burst

Robert Shiller's Irrational Exuberance argued in early 2000 that US stocks were dangerously overvalued, driven by feedback loops of hype rather than fundamentals. The dot-com crash began within weeks of its release. Shiller later won the 2013 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics for work on asset price bubbles.
