Daniel Kahneman
Prospect Theory; Thinking, Fast and Slow.
Daniel Kahneman was a Princeton professor emeritus of psychology and public affairs who won the 2002 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences. With Amos Tversky, he developed Prospect Theory, showing that people evaluate outcomes relative to reference points and weight losses more heavily than equivalent gains. His 2011 book 'Thinking, Fast and Slow' distilled decades of research on cognitive biases and heuristics for a general audience.
