Topical Currents

Why Having Too Little Means So Much

09/23/13 - Monday’s Topical Currents is with Princeton University Professor of Psychology and Public Affairs, Eldar Shafir.  He specializes in cognitive science and behavioral economics.   Shafir is the co-author of SCARCITY: Why Having Too Little Means So Much.  They say scarcity predicts that daily errors are common and unavoidable . . . no matter how motivated the person.  That’s Topical Currents . . . Monday at 1pm.

 

Why do successful people get things done at the last minute? Why does poverty persist?
