Chapter 3, question 6

The passage of this chapter I found most intriguing was the bit about Libertarian Paternalism and the book Nudge by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein. I really enjoyed the idea of economic and behavioral inertia, as well as the assumed consent. It is so easy to get people to opt-in when it is automatic and no one cares enough to opt-out though it surprised me how successful  this strategy was for Spain's cadaverous organ donations (50% more than the U.S.'). I would love to see the results of a small scale study for the U.S. if such policies were implemented, and I really believe that helmets should always be worn when huffing glue.
