'Recent behavioral contributions to policy are innovative and in vogue, yet old and familiar; potentially highly effective yet quite mundane; somewhat paternalistic, somewhat libertarian, nonintrusive yet manipulative, and they can affect all aspects of our lives. This impressive compendium advances behaviorally informed policy thinking in important ways.' -- Eldar Shafir, Princeton University, US 'This Handbook makes an important contribution to the study of behavioural public policy.
