Daniel Kahneman is dead, the man who showed people how to think and how to act. Who founded the research field of behavioral economics and received a Nobel Prize in Economics for it in 2002. Who demystified the original myth of the free market economy by exposing the supposedly sensible Homo Economicus as an irrational being. Who wrote one of the most successful non-fiction books of the 21st century with “Thinking Fast, Thinking Slowly” and then got what was probably the best-paying contract for a science book for a long time for the follow-up book “Noise”. Despite everything, he remained “Danny” to his friends and never let his curiosity get the better of him.
