Probably not the most focused on a single event/topic like Michael Lewis' prior works. But as a biography of the two psychologists who has shaped modern social and scientific environments, it works. But it takes a while to get to their seminal paper and doesn't go into any depth about its effects beyond psychology. The fact that the Nobel for Economics went to one of them, and now Richard Thayler, ends the book. The title is in reference to their last project at the time one of them died.

I enjoyed the biographical content. But I don't read Lewis for so much personal histories as much as I want the chronology and exploration of the ripple effects. Well as the saying goes ... Pick two of the three.
