The Tyranny of Utility: Behavioral Social Science and the Rise of Paternalism Hardcover - 2011
by Gilles Saint-Paul
From the rear cover
"Saint-Paul stands courageously in the middle of the new road to serfdom, trying to stop the heavy traffic being nudged along on it. He alerts us to the greatest threat to liberty since communism--our good will, our paternal-maternal desire to prevent anyone, anywhere from exercising their free will mistakenly. Let us pray Saint-Paul succeeds. If the unintentional enemies of liberty are open to reason, he will."--Deirdre McCloskey, author of Bourgeois Dignity: Why Economics Can't Explain the Modern World
"This is a fresh and original book about the fundamentals of how we approach economic policy. Saint-Paul presents a strong and powerful message about the alarming paternalism implicit in some currently fashionable approaches to economics."--Diane Coyle, author of The Soulful Science: What Economists Really Do and Why It Matters
"This accessible book provides a well-argued case against much that is currently fashionable, particularly in behavioral economics. Ranging over issues in philosophy, political science, psychology, economics, and public policy, the book deals adventurously with big issues while setting out the economic arguments intertwined with them. A very enjoyable and highly provocative book."--John Driffill, coauthor of Economics
"This book will enlighten and infuriate economists in equal measure--which is what an intelligent book should do. It makes an important contribution and is a good read."--Richard Disney, University of Nottingham
