Daniel Kahneman received the Nobel Prize for Economics in 2002 for “for having integrated insights from psychological research into economic science, especially concerning human judgment and decision-making under uncertainty.”   He has received numerous awards, including the 2013 Presidential Medal of Freedom.   His 2011 book Thinking, Fast and Slow was a New York Times bestseller.  He is a Princeton Professor Emeritus in the Department of Psychology and the Woodrow Wilson School of Public Policy.
