“Professor Cass R. Sunstein is a global household name as one of the foremost academics with an immense practical impact at the intersection of law, behavioural economics, and public policy. In addition to having founded and directed Harvard Law School’s programme on Behavioural Economics and Public Policy, Professor Sunstein has written multiple acclaimed books, including ‘Nudge’ and most recently ‘Noise’ with nobel prize-winning psychologist-economist Daniel Kahnemann.
In this interview with Lisa Witter, CEO of the Apolitical Foundation and a winner of the Creative Bureaucracy Award 2020, Professor Sunstein shares his perspective on “”creative bureaucracy”” from many years of navigating it. By way of metaphors such as “”sludge””, “”nudging””, “”noise””, Sunstein illustrates how information overload can lead to bad decisions.”
