Dan Ariely known for his creative experiments (and now famous for his book Predictably Irrational, and with another book on the way) is profiled in a Forbes column called The Empirical Economist.
The article begins with a picture that is worth a thousand words. (It suggests that Dan must have had a very classical economics education, if he read Mandeville's Fable of the Bees.:)
"a classical economics education..."
ReplyDeleteI doubt that very seriously. Ariely studied philosophy, psychology and marketing, not economics per se.
