Ariely on Limitations of Rational Economics
A hat tip to Mark Seccombe for spotting this - Dan Ariely on the limitations of rational Economics. And to tick the cross-curricular boxes Mark always leads into it with a bit of Shakespeare: “What a piece of work is a man, how noble in reason, how infinite in faculties, in form and moving how express and admirable, in action how like an angel, in apprehension how like a god!” – Hamlet Act II, scene II
