The book draws on research in psychology and behavioral economics to defend libertarian paternalism and active engineering of choice architecture.The book received mixed reviews. The Guardian described it as “never intimidating, always amusing and elucidating: a jolly economic romp but with serious lessons within.” But The Sunday Times called it a “very, very dull read” and others contended that the many policy proposals it contained became “a bit wearisome”. It was named a “Best Book of the Year” by The Economist.
