http://theunbrokenwindow.com/2008/07/28/bad-behavior/ The curious task of economics is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design. - F.A.

I'll have to read "Nudge," which I just got from the library. This article (http://money.cnn.com/2008/07/24/magazines/moneymag/105711588.moneymag/index.htm?postversion=2008072405) is meant to be like the book. If it is, then it really scares the heck out of me. Why is it that people always assume they know what is best for others without regard to situational awareness? This isn't even arm chair quarterbacking, because they aren't even bothering to watch the game play out. It would be like watching the Dodgers play the Cubs and telling Eli Manning what to do.
