Daniel Kahneman (1934–2024) was an Israeli-American psychologist and the recipient of the 2002 Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Sciences for his pioneering work, with longtime collaborator Amos Tversky, on the psychology of judgment and decision-making. Born in Tel Aviv and raised partly in wartime France, Kahneman spent his academic career at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, the University of British Columbia, and Princeton University, where he was Eugene Higgins Professor of Psychology Emeritus. His 2011 book Thinking, Fast and Slow distilled decades of research into two systems of thought, fast and intuitive versus slow and deliberate, and became an international bestseller that reshaped popular understanding of behavioral economics. He received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2013 and remained an influential voice in psychology and economics until his death in 2024.
