Description

Behavioural Economics: A Very Short Introduction by Michelle Baddeley explores how our psychology affects our economic decisions. Traditionally, economists have assumed that humans are rational and make selfish choices, but this is no longer supported by research. Our daily lives are complicated by psychological factors, leading to mistakes in decision-making. We struggle with self-control, making it difficult to stick to diets, exercise regularly, or manage our finances effectively. This book delves into the reasons behind these irrational decisions, including how we make quick choices and respond to social influences. By understanding the rationale for our financial behaviour, policymakers can design more effective policies, while consumers must navigate increasingly savvy marketing strategies.
