How two Israelis started a behavioral science revolution

How did two Israeli psychologists start a scientific revolution that will end up changing the lives and livelihoods of millions around the world? What role did their cultural background play in their research? And how did this result in two Nobel prizes in Economics, awarded almost 20 years apart? In this lecture we will discuss the life and work of Daniel Kahneman and Amos Tversky, revered psychologists who dared to challenge the status quo and founded a new discipline: Behavioral Economics.
