by Richard H. Thaler, Cass R. Sunstein
3.5 stars on Booklikes (this rounds down to 3 stars on Goodreads). Continuing my obsession with behavioral economics. Having read The Undoing Project and Thinking, Fast and Slow, I was familiar with many of the concepts and examples discussed in Nudge, but still, Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein ...

I can't take seriously a person who can't treat his audience as his equal. I see his point, and it's true, we ...
Much of the content is repetitive if one has read other behavioral economics books. But the authors' takes on Marriage (Privatizing), Savings, Green taxes, etc were new and thought-provoking
3.5 stars. I would say "I liked it," not "I really liked it." These guys are pretty smart, and their points are well argued & developed.
