Richard H. Thaler Audio & Video

Get ready to change the way you think about economics.

Notable behavioral economist Richard Thaler talks about his book Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth, and Happiness. He explains behavioral economics and how behavioral economists often have different ideas about the way humans act than other economists.

Every day, we make decisions on topics ranging from personal investments to schools for our children to the meals we eat to the causes we champion. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly.

Conversations host Harry Kreisler welcomes Professor Richard H. Thaler for a discussion of behavioral economics.

Richard Thaler, co-author of Nudge, will discuss his new book, Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics.

Richard Thaler challenges the received economic wisdom by revealing many of the paradoxes that abound even in the most painstakingly constructed transactions.
