Amos Tversky (1937-1996) was a towering figure in the cognitive and decision sciences.
His work was ingenious, exciting, and influential, spanning topics from intuition
to statistics to behavioral economics. His long and extraordinarily productive collaboration
with his friend and colleague Daniel Kahneman was the subject of Michael Lewis's best-selling
book, The Undoing Project: A Friendship that Changed Our Minds. The Essential Tversky
offers a selection of Tversky's best, most influential and accessible papers, "classics"
chosen to capture the essence of Tversky's thought. The impact of Tversky's work is
far reaching and long-lasting. In 2002, Kahneman, who drew on their joint work in
his much-praised 2013 book, Thinking, Fast and Slow (and who contributes an afterword
to this collection), was awarded the Nobel Prize in Economics for work done with Tversky.
In The Undoing Project, Lewis (who contributes a foreword to this collection) describes
his discovery that Tversky and Kahneman's thinking laid the foundation for Moneyball,
his own ode to number-crunching. The papers collected in The Essential Tversky cover
topics that include cognitive and perceptual bias, misguided beliefs, inconsistent
preferences, risky choice and loss aversion decisions, and psychological common sense.
Together, they offer nonspecialist readers an introduction to one of the most brilliant
social science thinkers of the twentieth century
