nobel laureate Richard H. Thaler has spent his career studying the radical notion that the central agents in the economy are humans-predictablee, error-prone individuals. ≪ em> misbehaving is his arresting, frequently hilarious account of the struggle to bring an academic discipline back down to earth-andd change the way we think about economics, ourselves, and our world.coupling recent discoveries in human psychology with a practical understanding of incentives and market behavior, thaler enlightens readers about how to make smarter decisions in an increasingly mystifying world. He reveals how behavioural economic analysis opens up new ways to look at everything from household finance to assigning faculty offices in a new building, to TV game shows, the NFL craft, and businesses like Uber.laced with antic stories of thaler's spirited battles with the bastions of traditional economic thinking, misbehaving is a singular look into profound human foibles. When economics meets psychology, the implications for individuals, managers, and policy makers are both profound and entertaining.
