The psychologist Daniel Kahneman, Nobel prize-winner for economics in 2002, has contributed to some notable advances in economic theory with his work on \u201cprospect theory\u201d, which goes to the heart of behavioural economics, and, more recently, with his work on the economics of happiness. In a book that appeared in the USA in 2011, Thinking, Fast and Slow<\/em>, he presents the core of his analyses and theories in a highly concrete form.\n\nCharles du Granrut has read this work for Futuribles<\/em> and offers a critical review of it here. He begins by outlining the two main styles of thinking of individuals, as Kahneman conceives them \u2013fast and intuitive and\/or slow and rational\u2013 before going on to note the main \u201ccognitive biases\u201d that are likely, in his view, to impair reasoning (errors, incoherence, prejudices, the halo effect….). Du Granrut then runs through the various criticisms that have been levelled at this analysis of the decision-making process. He also describes Kahneman\u2019s prospect theory and the way it has been applied within the framework of \u201cliberal paternalism\u201d through the \u201cnudge\u201d concept. Lastly, he notes the contribution made by Kahneman\u2019s analyses of individuals\u2019 perceptions of happiness, not just in the economic field but also, and most importantly, in the area of public policy. All in all, Kahneman\u2019s work is now often integrated into traditional economic theory, while enabling us all to be aware of \u2013and hence potentially forearmed against\u2013 the various biases inherent in human thinking.<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
