As part of a review of Kahneman’s new book, Thinking, Fast and Slow, by Evan Goldstein in the Chronicle of Higher Education, there is a fantastic infographic tracing citations for Kahneman and Tversky’s 1979 paper (see below).

Obviously, psychology and economics figure quite significantly, but the volume of business and management citations suggest a wider practical impact perhaps.
