RaveLSE Review of BooksHe explains in lucid and provocative detail all the biases and heuristics that we are prone to; all the quirks and complexities that make the human species far different from the Homo Economicus of our economic textbooks. Overflowing with insights and endlessly fascinating, this book covers a wide range of topics and spans decades of pioneering work in the field of psychology ... This book succeeds in instilling an awareness of the many biases and heuristics that lead to errors of judgments and poor decision-making. It should be made required reading for anyone; economists, libertarians, or whoever, who still holds fast to the notion that people make decisions rationally. Above all, Thinking, Fast and Slow is a highly enjoyable and informative read for anyone wanting insight into the human mind.
