Daniel Kahneman , a renowned psychologist who won the Nobel Prize in economics, developed this concept in the 1970s along with his collaborator, Amos Tversky. Since 1950, only 3 of 21 have managed the feat, and none have done so since 1978. He's good, just not worth the price. That's about a 40% rate. But it gets worse.
