Maggiori informazioni sul libro

Addressing critical issues like airplane safety, global warming, and genetically engineered food, this book critiques how decision-makers often react to fears rather than rational analysis, leading to hysteria and neglect. It highlights the flaws in individual and social thinking that contribute to these problems and proposes a "cost-benefit state" for more effective risk regulation. The author, Cass R. Sunstein, offers insightful solutions aimed at saving lives, reducing costs, and safeguarding the environment, drawing on his extensive experience in law and public policy.
