In 1995, economist Rachel Kranton wrote future Nobel Prize-winner George Akerlof a letter insisting that his most recent paper was wrong. Identity, she argued, was the missing element that would help to explain why people–facing the same economic circumstances–would make different choices. This was the beginning of a fourteen-year collaboration–and of Identity Economics.
