each type of irrational behavior, but the book lacks a global perspective The instances of irrational behavior introduced in the book could be classified into three categories psychological biases, sociological base biases and biases due to the lack of knowledge This classification is only implicitly present, and in this case only partially, since the chapters slightly follow it, but the fact
