This book is a general interest book- and it certainly is interesting. The book, for anyone looking for an entertaining read, will like it. In a nutshell, the book takes a look at all sorts of things in society, from crack gangs to parenting, and then attempts to make sense of them by applying econonmic principles. According to the book, economics is really the study of incentives, and so using this kind of angle, the book comes up with answers to why things work the way they do.
A book that's hard to put down, I'm sure many readers will enjoy it. Also recommend The Sixty-Second Motivator for a more simplistic explanation of what motivates people and gives them incentives to do what they do. >>More Details |

The book demonstrates through a series of examples how nudges could influence your decisions on a series of varied subjects: driving, credit cards, organ donations, choice of school, marriage,... Many of those topics are well developed and explained. The style is pleasant and easy to read.
The authors define two keys notions: libertarian paternalism and the opposition between Econs and Humans. Libertarian paternalism covers the ideas that private and public institutions may affect behaviours while also respecting freedom of choice. The default option will be a form of paternalism while the choice will be the libertarian part. Econs are people who "think like Albert Einstein, store as much memory as IBM's Big Blue, and exercise ... Read More: >>More Details |

I dont often write reviews but after recieving a 100% for my last asssignment by using this book, i thought i must write something. (My previous grades had ranged from 70-85%, so this was an incredible jump which i could never have dared hope for. In all of my assignments i knew my subject and was familiar with the various studies, but structuring and knowing how to put it all together is a different ballgame altogether. This is where Redman's book comes in.
This book was recommended to me by my tutor and every time i've gone through it, i'm always taking something new. It was the example of a top level essay that clinched my grade for me. Seeing a practical example on how to pull all the different essay components put together really helped me ... Read More: >>More Details |

The White Man's Burden: Why the West's Efforts to Aid the Rest Have Done So Much Ill and So Little Goodby: William Easterly September 27, 2007 Best Selling > Books > Academic Sociology |

How come $2.3 trillion dollars of Western aid has been spent in the last 50 years mostly in Africa, my native continent, and yet millions of children still die of preventable diseases like dysentery, cholera and malaria? Why have the vast amounts of aid money and Western good intentions not been able to lift Africa out of back-breaking poverty? William Easterly's argument, in this fascinating book, is that Western aid has failed because of the traditional approach that it has taken to tackling Third World poverty: planning and bureaucracy.
According to Mr Easterly, Western aid in the form on the Bretton Woods institutions (the World Bank and the IMF) is the most recent reincarnation of the White Man's Burden, a phrase which was immortalized by Kipling. The basic ... Read More: >>More Details |

The latest edition of this best-selling textbook has undergone considerable revision. The previous edition I borrowed from the library differed from this one in both appearance and content, but on inspection I find the later one much better. It is not a cheap purchase, but for anyone serious about research in education, sociology or any of the humanities it is a must-have volume and an invaluable source of references for academic papers, theses or even coursework essays and assignments for students.
