An economics Nobel, Kahneman never took and economics course but pioneered a psychological approach to the field in collaboration with Amos Tversky.

Thanks! It looks more like a Discourse forum than Reddit. I'll reserve judgment for now but after so many companies took their own platform usage we need something like this more than ever.
