Misbehaving: The Making of Behavioral Economics by Richard H. Thaler

4.0

A very good, conversational review of Thaler's explorations in behavioral economics. Thaler offers an overview of his career, explaining the various topics and concepts he has encountered and investigated along the way. As an overview of behavioral economics, and a survey of its research topics and policy suggestions, the book does very good work. By its structure, it does tend to be a bit anecdotal, and it lacks a central thesis to provide it urgency. But Thaler is a wry, entertaining author, and the book is an enjoyable read that looks at some very important concepts.
