In this article, David Lewis (Chief Client Officer), Kelly Peters (CEO and Co-Founder), and Dan Ariely (Chief Behavioral Scientist and Co-Founder) consider the economic fallout caused by a global pandemic, and consider the role of behavioral economics in managing mindsets when managing money in these trying times.
