Misbehaving with Richard Thaler
Hidden Brain 
About this episode
<p>We don't always do what we're supposed to do. We don't save enough for retirement. We order dessert — even when we're supposed to be dieting. In other words, we misbehave. That's the title of Richard Thaler's most recent book: <em>Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics. </em>If you've read Thaler's previous book, <em>Nudge,</em> you know he's an economist who studies why people don't really act the way traditional economists say they will. Thaler recently won a Nobel Prize for his contributions to the field of behavioral economics — so we thought we'd celebrate by giving you this encore episode. It's still one of our favorites.</p><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
