How Change HappensCass R. Sunstein

How does social change happen? When do social movements take o� ? Sexual ha-rassment was once something that women had to endure; now a movement has risen up against it. White nationalist sentiments, on the other hand, were largely kept out of mainstream discourse; now there is no shortage of media outlets for them. In this book, with the help of behavioral econom-ics, psychology, and other fi elds, Cass Sunstein casts a bright new light on how change happens.March 2019 | $29.95 | £24.00 | 328 pp. | Hardcover9780262039574

Cost-Benefi t RevolutionCass R. Sunstein

Why policies should be based on careful consideration of their costs and benefi ts rather than on intuition, popular opinion, interest groups, and anecdotes.“Only Cass Sunstein could present cost-benefi t analysis as a prism for understanding democracy, an exciting research frontier, and a route to a better world. The world will be a better place if the next president of the United States thinks hard about this important book.” —Lawrence H. Summers, Charles W. Eliot University Professor and President Emeritus, Harvard University

Order Without DesignHow Markets Shape CitiesAlain Bertaud

An argument that operational urban plan-ning can be improved by the application of the tools of urban economics to the design of regulations and infrastructure.“Alain Bertaud is one of the world’s great urbanists. He straddles the world of urban economics and urban planning—and draws forth the best of both fi elds. This book is a fascinating tour-de-force of clear thinking and real-world experience. Like Alain, it is wise, witty, and deeply insightful. Anyone who cares about cities throughout the world should read this book and grapple with Alain’s incisive intellect.” —Edward Glaeser Fred and Eleanor Glimp Professor of Economics, Harvard University; author of Triumph of the City

Divine GamesGame Theory and the Undecidability of a Superior BeingSteven J. Brams

A game-theoretical analysis of interac-tions between a human being and an omnipotent and omniscient godlike being highlights the inherent unknowability of the latter’s superiority.“For millennia, theological thinking nourished and stimulated decision and game theory. From William of Ockham to Leibniz, from Pascal to Bayes, ques-tions about God’s existence and properties gave rise to the most fundamental concepts of the fi eld. It takes a thinker as original and profound as Steven Brams to start paying back this intellectual debt.” — Itzhak Gilboa, Professor of Economics, Tel Aviv University and HEC, Paris
