Quick Glance: Daniel Kahneman, Pioneer of Behavioral Economics, Dies at 90

- He coined the term 'thinking, fast and slow' and illustrated how people are often overly confident, placing excessive faith in their intuitions.
- Kahneman and his colleague Tversky pioneered behavioral economics, applying psychological insights to economic decision-making and influencing behavior in diverse sectors.
