This book presents a history of behavioral economics. The recurring
theme is that behavioral economics reflects and contributes to a
fundamental reorientation of the epistemological foundations upon
which economics had been based since the days of Smith, Ricardo,
and Mill. With behavioral economics, the discipline has shifted
from grounding its theories in generalized characterizations to
building theories from behavioral assumptions directly amenable to
empirical validation and refutation. The book proceeds
chronologically and takes the reader from von Neumann and
Morgenstern's axioms of rational behavior, through the
incorporation of rational decision theory in psychology in the
1950s-1970s, to the creation and rise of behavioral economics in
the 1980s and 1990s at the Sloan and Russell Sage Foundations.
