Our view
“Nudge” sets out a clear idea, that the way options are presented shapes what people choose, and then tests it on public policy in detail. The opening chapters make the case best; many readers who know other popular books on decision-making find much of that ground familiar. Some also feel the long sections on American pensions, insurance and health care drift from the theme and leave readers outside the United States behind.
