"By “nudging” people towards the best outcomes, “choice architects” massage the social atmospheres in which we decide to make it easier for people to make the right, rational choice."

Yet, the "right, rational choice" appears to be nothing more than those choices which conform to the author's arbitrary value preferences. The whole theory is premised on the assumption that their values are "rational" and any other values are "mistakes".

The “nudging” is penalties for not doing what they want you to do. islamist are only trying to nudge Christians to consert to islam by beheading, crucifing and raping those who don’t convert. So can we trust academics and politicians with their “nudging”. hitler, stalin and chairman mao “nudged” people into ovens and mass graves. “Nudging” is about power and control over people.
