Who Criticized Moneyball
“Only people who were afraid of losing their jobs were really hostile to Moneyball in the baseball environment. [из-за новых веяний]- recalled Lewis in an interview with Forbes. “In fact, they’ve actually already lost it to an analytic revolution that they weren’t ready for.” Lewis ignored these reproaches. But there was a review that hurt him painfully. “This criticism was expressed much softer and softer. Richard Thaler, Nobel laureate in economics, and [ученый] Cass Sunstein wrote a book review. They admitted that they liked the book very much. But it was assumed that the author did not understand what he was writing about. In their opinion, this was, in fact, a transposition of one of the studies from the works of Kahneman and Tversky. The year I wrote Moneyball, Kahneman won the Nobel Prize for such ideas. But I missed this news. “
