I can't think of a better public policy book than Nudge for the clear exposition of economic research, thoughtful suggestions, and downright humour. This is a book written for a country of diverse and strident opinions. Thaler and Sunstein suggest an incremental approach to public policy: why not nudge people into making better decisions for themselves. Leave them just enough choice to make them feel ownership over pension contributions, choice of medical insurance, even marriage. It's also a prescription for breaking the logjam in US Congress by taking a thoughtful, slightly right of centre approach to government. On my recent vacation to the West Coast I saw the ultimate bumper sticker for a cynical electorate: "Recycle Congress." ( )
But regardless of whether Thaler and Sunstein’s ideas are ideologically neutral, most of them are the essence of common sense. Although Nudge has no positive redeeming qualities, there is some value in what it reveals about contemporary politics. Thaler and Sunstein have unwittingly exposed an increasingly popular approach to whittling away freedom in America. InspiradoPrêmiosNotable Lists

HTML: Every day, we make decisions on topics ranging from personal investments to schools for our children to the meals we eat to the causes we champion. Unfortunately, we often choose poorly. The reason, the authors explain, is that, being human, we all are susceptible to various biases that can lead us to blunder. Our mistakes make us poorer and less healthy; we often make bad decisions involving education, personal finance, health care, mortgages and credit cards, the family, and even the planet itself. Thaler and Sunstein invite us to enter an alternative world, one that takes our humanness as a given. They show that by knowing how people think, we can design choice environments that make it easier for people to choose what is best for themselves, their families, and their society. Using colorful examples from the most important aspects of life, Thaler and Sunstein demonstrate how thoughtful "choice architecture" can be established to nudge us in beneficial directions without restricting freedom of choice. Nudge offers a unique new take ?? from neither the left nor the right ?? on many hot-button issues, for individuals and governments alike. This is one of the most engaging and provocative books to come along in many years Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
