Why Nudge?: The Politics Of Libertarian Paternalism
The bestselling author of Simpler offers a powerful, provocative, and convincing argument for protecting people from their own mistakes. Based on a series of lectures given at Yale University in 2012, this work by Cass R. Sunstein combines legal theory with behavioral economics to discuss the legitimate scope of government on issues like obesity, smoking, and health care. Sunstein advocates for a form of paternalism that protects against serious errors while respecting freedom of choice.
