The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds By:Michael Lewis Published on 2016-12-06 by W. W. Norton & Company “Brilliant. . . . Lewis has given us a spectacular account of two great men who faced up to uncertainty and the limits of human reason.” —William Easterly, Wall Street Journal Forty years ago, Israeli psychologists Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky wrote a series of breathtakingly original papers that invented the field of behavioral economics.
