Standard economics theory is built on the assumption that human beings act rationally in their own self-interest. But if rationality is such a reliable factor, why do economic models so often fail to predict market behavior accurately? Quasi-Rational Economics discusses the shortcomings of the standard approach and how it arises from its failure to take into account systematic mental biases that color all human judgments and decisions.
