Produktinformationen zu „The Tyranny of Utility “
"This accessible book provides a well-argued case against much that is currently fashionable, particularly in behavioral economics. Ranging over issues in philosophy, political science, psychology, economics, and public policy, the book deals adventurously with big issues while setting out the economic arguments intertwined with them. A very enjoyable and highly provocative book."--John Driffill, coauthor of "Economics"
"This book will enlighten and infuriate economists in equal measure--which is what an intelligent book should do. It makes an important contribution and is a good read."--Richard Disney, University of Nottingham
"This is a fresh and original book about the fundamentals of how we approach economic policy. Saint-Paul presents a strong and powerful message about the alarming paternalism implicit in some currently fashionable approaches to economics."--Diane Coyle, author of "The Soulful Science: What Economists Really Do and Why It Matters"
