H. Chase Stone Lecture by Richard H. Thaler. “Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics"

H. Chase Stone Lecture by Professor Richard H. Thaler, University of Chicago. Thaler, the “father of behavioral economics,” has spent his career studying the radical notion that the central agents in the economy are hu mans ? predictable, error-prone individuals. “Misbehaving” is his arresting, frequently hilarious account of the struggle to bring an academic discipline back down to earth ? and change the way we think about economics, ourselves and our world.
