Evolution and the Mechanisms of Decision Making
"Eleventh Ernst Str?ungmann Forum held June 19-24, 2011, Frankfurt am Main."How do we make decisions? Conventional decision theory tells us only which behavioral choices we ought to make if we follow certain axioms.

Prehistoric, preindustrial, and predigital eras required fewer decisions than today's all-access, always-on world of too much information. Economists have largely discarded the idea that agents act rationally and the market follows suit. It seems that no matter how sma…
