Thinking Fast and Slow, by Daniel Kahneman.
《思考，快与慢》丹尼尔·卡尼曼著。

Towards the end of “Thinking, Fast and Slow”, Daniel Kahneman laments that he and his late collaborator, Amos Tversky, are often credited with showing that humans make “irrational” choices. That term is too strong, he says, to describe the variety of mental mishaps to which people systematically fall prey. Readers of his book may disagree. Mr Kahneman, an Israeli-American psychologist and Nobel economics laureate, has delivered a full catalogue of the biases, shortcuts and cognitive illusions to which our species regularly succumbs. In doing so he makes it plain that Homo economicus—the rational model of human behaviour beloved of economists—is as fantastical as a unicorn.
在《思考：快与慢》一书的结尾之处，丹尼尔卡内曼说对人们的一些赞誉感到悲痛，人们赞赏他和他已故的合作者阿莫斯特沃斯基发现了人类做“无理性决定”，他说，用这个说法来形容“人们可能受到的各种方的面精神问题的困扰太严重了”。这本书的读者也许不赞同这个说法。卡内曼拥有以色列和美国双重国籍，心理学家，诺贝尔经济学奖获得者，他将人类通常会有的偏见，心理捷径，和认知幻象进行了系统全面的分类并清晰的阐释了新鲜的“经济人”的概念（Homo economicus），这是经济学家所钟爱的人类行为的理性分类。
