Hard bumping to top corner of textblock, with crease to many pages. Light foxing to endpapers. Occasional dogearing and annotations to pages throughout. Psychological Analysis of Economic Behavior is a landmark interdisciplinary work between psychology and economics by psychologist George Katona (1901-1981), an early advocate of the application of psychological principles to macroeconomics, an influential scholar in the later development of behavioral economics, and and the deviser of the University of Michigan Consumer Sentiment Index, which, counter to professional opinion at the time, predicted the post-World War II boom in the United States. This 1951 first edition comes from the collection of "The Expert on Experts," Florida State University cognitive psychologist Anders Ericsson (1947-2020), the globally recognized researcher in the field of performance studies and the psychological nature of expertise whose work Malcolm Gladwell popularized in his bestselling book Outliers.
