Kahneman's published empirical findings challenge the assumption of human rationality prevailing in modern economic theory. He became known as the "grandfather of behavioral economics." With Amos Tversky, he established prospect theory and developed insights into cognitive biases and heuristics. ## Quotes <!-- QueryToSerialize: LIST FROM #type/quote AND [[Daniel Kahneman]] WHERE public_note = true SORT file.name ASC --> <!-- SerializedQuery: LIST FROM #type/quote AND [[Daniel Kahneman]] WHERE public_note = true SORT file.name ASC --> - [[As soon as you present a problem to me, I have some ready-made answer.
