About the Author
Sendhil Mullainathan is a renowned economist and professor at the University of Chicago Booth School of Business, where he explores the intersections of behavioral economics, psychology, and public policy. His groundbreaking research examines how scarcity—of time, money, or bandwidth—shapes human decision-making and perpetuates cycles of poverty and stress. A recipient of the MacArthur Fellowship, Mullainathan has published extensively in top academic journals and advised governments and organizations on issues like inequality and discrimination. In his acclaimed book Scarcity: The New Science of Having Less and How It Defines Our Lives, co-authored with Eldar Shafir, he demystifies the cognitive traps created by resource constraints, offering insights that challenge conventional economic theories and propose innovative solutions for societal improvement.
