For decades, economics operated under the assumption that humans are rational agents. At the same time, psychology studied how emotions, memory, and perception shape human decisions. When these two worlds collided, a new discipline emerged—behavioral economics (BE)—one that sees the world not as a perfect market of calculators, but as a messy, emotional, biased, and deeply human system of decision-making.
