Hi everyone,

I don't have time to organize a speaker or presentation for the June future salon, due to the time demands of my job right now. I will put together something for July. In the meantime, James wanted to talk about a radio program which about how people are not as rational as they are modeled to be in economic models and that there is a movement to factor human psychology into economic thinking. We will use this topic as a jumping off point for an informal freestyle discussion.

Here's the program:

+ The Science Of Gullibility: Why We Get Duped +
Bernard Madoff's Ponzi-style scheme fooled many clever people, including an expert on the science of gullibility. Psychologist Stephen Greenspan, author of Annals of Gullibility: Why We Get Duped and How to Avoid It, explains what psychology can teach us about the scam.
