"(...) a concept that the Swarthmore University psychologist Barry Schwartz would then popularize and rename as the paradox of choice."
Last time I checked, there is no such a thing as "Swarthmore University": Barry Schwartz is affiliated with Swarthmore College instead [1,2,3].
Might seem pedantic, but the New Yorker of yore would never let such a slip --online or not. Such editing.
