Abstract

This article describes Michael Lewis's book, The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds, published in 2016, which is a nice introduction to behavioural economics for the non-technical reader. Daniel Kahneman, who won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 2002, and Amos Tversky (1937 – 1996) are the founders of behavioural economics: their work persuaded the young Richard Thaler, who received the Nobel Prize in 2017, to adopt the same line of research. Lewis has written a fine book on the intellectual adventures of Kahneman and Tversky, examining their early studies, the prevailing views on rationality in economics prior to their research, their innovative contributions, their friendship, and what came after behavioural economics.
