Description

How economics has shaped our values and morals over the past fifty years is revealed in this thought-provoking book. Licence to be Bad explores how key economic ideas, such as free-riding and Nudge, have seeped into our decision-making and almost all aspects of our lives.

Aldred argues that economics has had a profound impact on our understanding of what is 'good' and 'right', leading to a shift in behaviour that was once considered stupid, harmful or simply wicked. This book shows how these changes can be reversed and offers a way forward.
