Nudge

evidence everywhere. Evidence that economic orthodoxy is woefully out of date, that as humans we re not always rational, and that in every bit of architecture, design, and economic choice, we are ALWAYS being nudged in some way. Once we see and accept that, we can ask how we can make better choices. This book points us in the direction. It changes the way you see the world this edition even more so. David Byrne, musician

In the spirit of Donald Norman s The Design of Everyday Things . . . Thaler and Sunstein deliver a spirited argument to enable well-informed people to overcome various biases and probabilistic harms to do what is best for them and, in the present case, their fellow American Humans. . . . Students of design, politics, economics, and many other fields will delight in these provocative discussions. Kirkus Reviews

Nudge is as important a book as any I ve read in perhaps twenty years. It is a book that people interested in any aspect of public policy should read. It is a book that people interested in politics should read. It is a book that people interested in ideas about human freedom should read. It is a book that people interested in promoting human welfare should read. If you re not interested in any of these topics, you can read something else.   Barry Schwartz, The American Prospect
