Episode 35: Nudge The Final Edition - Deep Dive Book Review

In this review, we look at the book Nudge the Final Edition by Richard H. Thaler and Cass R. Sunstein. "Nudge" explores the field of behavioral economics and its application to public policy. The authors argue that people often make choices that are not in their best interest due to cognitive biases and predictable psychological tendencies. They propose "nudges," or subtle changes to the choice architecture, to steer individuals toward better decisions without taking away their freedom of choice. The text examines various real-world examples, including retirement savings, health insurance, and organ donation, to illustrate how nudges can be effectively implemented.
