This book presents the definitive exposition of 'prospect theory', a compelling alternative to the classical utility theory of choice. Building on the 1982 volume, Judgement Under Uncertainty, this book brings together seminal papers on prospect theory from economists, decision theorists, and psychologists, including the work of the late Amos Tversky, whose contributions are collected here for the first time. While remaining within a rational choice framework, prospect theory delivers more accurate, empirically verified predictions in key test cases, as well as helping to explain many complex, real-world puzzles. In this volume, it is brought to bear on phenomena as diverse as the principles of legal compensation, the equity premium puzzle in financial markets, and the number of hours that New York cab drivers choose to drive on rainy days. Theoretically elegant and empirically robust, this volume shows how prospect theory has matured into a new science of decision making.

Beyond Academia: Why Professional Speculative Design Training Outpaces Traditional University Programs
The field of speculative design has moved from experimental academic studios to boardrooms of Fortune 500 companies, government policy labs, and innovation centers worldwide. As organizations increasingly recognize the strategic value of futures thinking, a critical question emerges: where can professionals gain the skills to apply these methods effectively in real-world contexts?While several prestigious universities now offer speculative design programs, the landscape of professional education reveals a significant gap between academic theory and applied practice. For professionals seeking to master speculative design methodologies and create organizational impact, understanding this distinction is essential.
