PDF-[EPUB] - Why Nudge?: The Politics of Libertarian Paternalism (The Storrs Lectures Series)

The bestselling author of Simpler offers a powerful provocative and convincing argument for protecting people from their own mistakes Based on a series of pathbreaking lectures given at Yale University in 2012 this powerful thoughtprovoking work by national bestselling author Cass R Sunstein combines legal theory with behavioral economics to make a fresh argument about the legitimate scope of government bearing on obesity smoking distracted driving health care food safety and other highly volatile highprofile public issues Behavioral economists have established that people often make decisions that run counter to their best interestsproducing what Sunstein describes as behavioral market failures Sometimes we disregard the long term sometimes we are unrealistically optimistic sometimes we do not see what is in front of us With this evidence in mind Sunstein argues for a new form of paternalism one that protects people against serious errors but also recognizes the risk of government overreaching and usually preserves freedom of choice Against those who reject paternalism of any kind Sunstein shows that choice architecturegovernmentimposed structures that affect our choicesis inevitable and hence that a form of paternalism cannot be avoided He urges that there are profoundly moral reasons to ensure that choice architecture is helpful rather than harmfuland that it makes peoples lives better and longer.

Is this phenomenon the end of neoliberalism or its monstrous offspring?In the Ruins of Neoliberalism casts the hard-right turn as animated by socioeconomically aggrieved white working- and middle-class populations but contoured by neoliberalism’s multipronged assault on democratic values. From its inception, neoliberalism flirted with authoritarian liberalism as it warred against robust democracy. It repelled social-justice claims through appeals to market freedom and morality. It sought to de-democratize the state, economy, and society and re-secure the patriarchal family. In key works of the founding neoliberal intellectuals, Wendy Brown traces the ambition to replace democratic orders with ones disciplined by markets and traditional morality and democratic states with technocratic ones.Yet plutocracy, white supremacy, politicized mass affect, indifference to truth, and extreme social disinhibition were no part of the neoliberal vision. Brown theorizes their unintentional spurring by neoliberal reason, from its attack on the value of society and its fetish of individual freedom to its legitimation of inequality. Above all, she argues, neoliberalism’s intensification of nihilism coupled with its accidental wounding of white male supremacy generates an apocalyptic populism willing to destroy the world rather than endure a future in which this supremacy disappears.
