Daniel Kahneman Quotes:
Ocupation: Psychologist
Life: b. March 5, 1934
Birthday: March 5

We know that people can maintain an unshakeable faith in any proposition, however absurd, when they are sustained by a community of like-minded believers. Given the professional culture of the financial community, it is not surprising that large numbers of individuals in that world believe themselves to be among the chosen few who can do what they believe others cannot.
