Daniel Kahneman podcast

This is from Economics in Ten podcast, season four, episode one. Kahneman won the Nobel Prize in Economics despite being a psychologist by training, and this episode covers the work that earned it: prospect theory, loss aversion, and the distinction between System 1 and System 2 thinking. These are foundational ideas for behavioural economics and map very directly onto the spec. The episode is clear, engaging, and well-paced, and students who have encountered Thinking, Fast and Slow will find this a useful companion. Accessible and highly spec-relevant: Kahneman’s ideas are central to the behavioural economics section of the course, and this is one of the stronger episodes for direct classroom applicability.  Listen here
