    MICHAEL Lewis is the poet laureate of the financial world. Each of his deeply researched, beautifully composed books causes a stir when published. Recall the brouhaha that erupted when Lewis, discussing his 2014 book Flash Boys on 60 Minutes, said that markets are rigged.

    Lewis' newest book, The Undoing Project: A Friendship That Changed Our Minds, is a very different work from earlier Lewis writings. Its subject is two academics, Amos Tversky and Daniel Kahneman - their backgrounds, how they met and how two wildly different personalities became a singular brain to "undo" our misunderstanding of how the human mind operates.
