- Michael Lewis: “when I’m working on a book I really don’t want to talk about it; otherwise you talk it out and never get to write it” #economicsfest #writingtips @FestivalofIdeas pic.twitter.com/eLfWMIvSyU
- Lewis: “Kahneman’s superpower is doubt”. He spent $5,000 in commissioning 3 hatchet job reviews of the book that ended up being “Thinking fast and slow” just to confirm his own views about how bad it was... “Not many Nobel prizes do that” #understatementoftheyear #economicsfest
- Lewis: “Amos Tversky’s heuristic was ‘I am right’ & he could get away with it because he knew so much about so many things”. The Tversky intelligence test consisted in seeing how long it took someone 2 realise Amos was smarter: the longer it took, the dumber you’re #economicsfest
- The two friends who changed how we think about how we think, Michael Lewis book reviewed @NewYorker, #economicsfest https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/the-two-friends-who-changed-how-we-think-about-how-we-think …
- Michael Lewis is a great storyteller. Enjoying his character studies of Kahneman and Tversky @FestivalofIdeas tonight. #economicsfest
- Lewis: the real genius of what Kahneman and Tversky did was devising such clever experiments to test their ideas about people’s errors in judgement and decision-making #economicsfest #BehavioralEconomics
- Lewis: Thaler had a collection of insights of “stupid things people do”, but no theory for it. Kahneman & Tversky’s ideas of systematic error gave him the intellectual platform on which to grow #behavioraleconomics #economicsfest

- Behavioural economics smuggles cognitive psychology into policy #economicsfest
- Lewis: “behavioural economics smuggles cognitive insight into public policy ... it has legitimised psychological research more than it has changed economics” #economicsfest
