The guy in the interview, Richard Thaler, is a trained economist while Paul Solman has an MBA focusing in economics.
Not only do they think differently than other humans...they cant seem to ever agree with each other either.

Economists would criticize me for being so fascinated by a forest.  And yet you can never really understand an economy without understanding a forest.

It's confusing to me why some still think saying HEY PEOPLE AREN'T PURELY RATIONAL! is some kind of devastating blow to the field.
