Didn't Tversky and Khaneman basically blow up some economic ideas with research in psychology? I don't remember the details, but I thought it had to do with people not being able to be rational even if they tried (or something like that). Something about them making poor decisions about risk/reward depending on how the question was framed.

I could have that wrong though. It might be someone else or something else.
