![]() ![]() Generous in praising his allies and collaborators, notably the psychologists Daniel Kahneman (a Nobel laureate) and the late Amos Tversky, Thaler is unafraid to demolish his opponents with flashes of wit. The history itself is highly tendentious - traditional economists no doubt would tell the story differently - but also fun. In "Misbehaving," he offers a dryly humorous history of the revolution he helped ignite, as well as a useful (if sometimes challenging) primer on its key concepts. Once a seemingly unpromising graduate student, today a professor of behavioral science and economics at the University of Chicago's Booth School of Business and co-author of the best-selling "Nudge," Thaler ranks as one of the founders of behavioral economics. ![]()
