This book carefully dissects the claims of nudge theory and other forms of paternalism based on behavioral economics. The authors reveal how paternalist normative standards are unjustified and why paternalist policymaking is unlikely to produce desirable results, arguing instead for a more inclusive theory of rationality in economic policymaking.
1. Introduction: the rise of behavioral paternalism; 2. What is rationality?; 3. Rationality for puppets; 4. Preference biases; 5. The rationality of beliefs; 6. Deficient foundations for behavioral policymaking; 7. Knowledge problems in paternalist policymaking; 8. The political economy of paternalist policymaking; 9. Slippery slopes in paternalist policymaking; 10. Common threads, escape routes, and paths forward; References; Index.
