The late Princeton University psychologist Daniel Kahneman changed our understanding of how we make decisions, especially financial ones, proving that we are far more irrational than we think. Kahneman pioneered the field of behavioral economics and won a Nobel Prize for his work tying psychology to economics. He liked to point out that he never took an economics class. Kahneman died last week at the age of 90 years. We look at his groundbreaking work and how it has shaped how we understand judgements, motivation and intuition. Our guests are Katy Milkman, professor at The Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, and Eldar Shafir, Inaugural Director of Princeton’s Kahneman-Treisman Center for Behavioral Science and Public Policy.
We also talk about the history of public defenders. We look at the landmark decision that led to the creation of public counsel programs around the country and why Pennsylvania programs are so poorly funded. We’re joined by Keisha Hudson, chief defender with the Defender Association of Philadelphia, which is celebrating its 90th anniversary this week
