Description

Choice pervades our society, founded on political rights to choose and an economy based on market choices. However, we have now reached a point where choice is extended almost everywhere. This lively and topical book provides a critique of choice in contemporary society and policy, arguing that too much choice can be detrimental. The author examines how choice works at a personal level, its demands, and how it can fail, before exploring alternatives such as provision. The book then reviews the impact of choice through the life cycle, considering whether this enhances or burdens our lives, and questioning the assumption that more choice is always for the better.
