Description

Cass Sunstein, the Robert Walmsley University Professor at Harvard University, talks to Social Europe Editor-in-Chief Henning Meyer about policies, nudging and freedom of choice (and what policy-makers could learn from Star Wars). From 2009 to 2012, Cass Sunstein was Administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs. He is also founder and director of the Program on Behavioral Economics and Public Policy at Harvard Law School. The conversation is based on Cass Sunstein's most recent book "On Freedom" published by Princeton University Press (https://press.princeton.edu/titles/30081.html) If you are interested in our podcast you might also find our regular articles, blogs and other written publications of interest.
