Rationalizing policy through cost-benefit analysis.

If you’ve ever felt baffled by government decisions, "The Cost-Benefit Revolution" might shine a light on a clearer path. Cass Sunstein pushes for a pragmatic approach to policy-making—one where numbers outweigh opinions. It’s a compelling read if you crave a method to the madness of political decision-making, and it gives a nod to the kind of strategic thinking that could level-up governance in any era, even beyond Sunstein's own tenure in the Obama administration.

Description

Why policies should be based on careful consideration of their costs and benefits rather than on intuition, popular opinion, interest groups, and anecdotes. In The Cost-Benefit Revolution, Cass Sunstein argues that major disagreements involve facts, not values, and government policy should be based on numbers - meaning careful consideration of costs and benefits. The book celebrates the cost-benefit revolution in policy making and outlines techniques for acquiring information to improve people's lives.
