A landmark publication full of startling revelations, the book indelibly alters our image of this most enigmatic capitalist.

We are susceptible to external nudges. And far from being perfectly rational, we are prone to ‘cognitive biases’ with complex effects on decision-making, such as forgetting to prepare for retirement.
