ABSTRACT
Concluding chapters are notoriously difficult to write. In traditional fiction the author has to identify the murderer (and all the clues that led to his or her discovery), marry off the hero and the heroine, and generally ensure that all the loose ends are tied up. The demands of modern textbook writing are fortunately less onerous: to deal with all the loose ends we have left in the previous chapters would require another book of the same length. Our aim in this chapter is rather more modest: we will try to draw together some of the threads that run through the book, consider what economic psychology has to offer with regard to some of the economicpsychological problems of the twenty-first century, and speculate a little about the future of economic psychology.
