Die neoklassische Wirtschaftslehre geht bekanntlich vom Homo oeconomicus aus, der rationale Entscheidungen trifft. Die Wirklichkeit sieht häufig anders aus. Wir handeln nicht selten gegen unsere Vernunft, lassen uns zu Handlungen verlocken, die kurzfristig Genuss, langfristig aber Frust bringen oder auch sehr viel Geld kosten können.Die Verhaltensökonomie geht deshalb über ein simples Anreizsystem hinaus und versucht, die Menschen zum richtigen Handeln anzustupsen. “Nudge” heißt das Wort, das 2008 schlagartig die Runde machte, als Richard H. Thaler und Cass R. Sunstein ihr gleichnamiges Buch publizierten. Nudging bezeichnet gezielte Veränderungen der Entscheidungsumgebung, ohne Zwang und ohne finanzielle Anreize. Stattdessen setzen die Autoren auf einen liberalen Paternalismus: Er lässt die individuelle Entscheidungsfreiheit bewusst bestehen und rechtfertigt zurückhaltende Eingriffe, die es den Menschen leichter machen, bessere Entscheidungen zu treffen. Ist das einfach ein neoliberales Modell oder lässt sich dieses Konzept auch für eine linke Politik produktiv Machen? Darüber diskutieren Ole Nymoen und Wolfgang M. Schmitt in der neuen Ausgabe von “Wohlstand für Alle”!Literatur:Richard H. Thaler, Cass R. Sunstein: Nudge.

In this first Nicole's Nudge episode, we're diving into two powerful questions you can use to unlock your patient's true goals during their evaluation. Too often, we get caught up in the symptoms without uncovering what really scares our patients—or how their life would change if those symptoms disappeared.

In order to trust machines with important jobs, we need a high level of confidence that they share our values and goals. Recent work shows that this “alignment” can be brittle, superficial, even unstable. In one study, a few training adjustments led a popular chatbot to recommend murder. On this episode, contributing writer Stephen Ornes tells host Samir Patel about what this research reveals. Audio coda from The National Archives and Records Administration.

There are few more prolific Americans than the Harvard scholar, activist and athlete Cass Sunstein. The author of almost 30 books (including the best-selling Nudge) as well as an influential advisor in the Presidencies of Biden and Obama, Sunstein's new book, On Liberalism, is an unambiguously full throated defense of freedom. Both Reagan and FDR are part of the same big tent liberal family, Sunstein argues, in this defiantly bipartisan reminder of foundations of modern American freedom. There's not a lot of nudging On Liberalism. He warns that while liberalism faces "severe pressure" today, its core commitments to freedom, pluralism, and the rule of law must unite American citizens across political divides. The alternative, he says, is an unAmerican scenario of unfreedom. In a word: illiberalism. 1. The Liberal "Big Tent" Includes Both Reagan and FDRSunstein argues that liberalism isn't just for the left—it's a broad tradition unified by commitments to freedom, pluralism, rule of law, and security (freedom from fear). This tent includes everyone from Margaret Thatcher to Tony Blair, from Ronald Reagan to Franklin Roosevelt, united against illiberal forces like Hitler, Stalin, and Putin.2. "Experiments in Living" Are Liberalism's FoundationWhile just a throwaway line for John Stuart Mill, Sunstein sees "experiments in living" as central to liberalism. Whether it's entrepreneurs trying new businesses, people exploring different religious commitments, or individuals choosing unconventional lifestyles, liberalism protects and celebrates this diversity of human experience.3. Nudging and Freedom Are CompatibleSunstein defends his famous "nudge" concept as fundamentally liberal. Like a GPS that suggests routes but lets you choose your destination (or ignore its advice entirely), nudges inform and guide while preserving freedom of choice. Calorie labels nudge but don't coerce; you can still choose the fudge.4. Liberalism Faces "Severe Pressure" But Isn't CollapsingWhile warning that attacks on universities and political opponents are "not consistent with liberal traditions," Sunstein maintains optimism. America's robust liberal foundations—from the Revolutionary War to its cultural commitment to freedom—remain strong, though renewal and vigilance are needed now more than ever.5. Both Right and Left Harbor Illiberal TendenciesSunstein critiques illiberalism across the spectrum: from those who attack political opponents and universities on the right, to the "woke left" that sometimes opposes free speech and seeks to shame rather than persuade. His prescription: a liberalism focused on opportunity and individual agency, free from shaming and open to all. This is a public episode.

What determines who you vote for?  You probably think it's due to rational reasons. Economy. Sustainability. Immigration. Growth.  But research shows that your choice of vote isn't as logical as you might expect.  In fact, all of our votes can be swayed by a largely irrelevant factor.  And this factor can be used to change what we eat, wear, drink and buy.  Hear how, on today's episode of Nudge with Phil Graves. ---  Phil's book: https://shorturl.at/kzAta Phil's consultancy: https://www.philipgraves.net/consultancy/ Subscribe to the (free) Nudge Newsletter: https://nudge.ck.page/profile  Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/phill-agnew-22213187/  Watch Nudge on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@nudgepodcast/ --- Today's sources: Cialdini, R.

Have businesses become less accountable? If something goes wrong with your flight, train, or takeaway, you'll probably struggle to get a helpful response from someone. Today's guest on Nudge, economist Dan Davies, says this is by design. He calls them Unaccountability Machines, and they're taking over.

Jon Hartley and Cass Sunstein discuss the current state as of 2025 of behavioral economics and ideas presented in Nudge (such as government nudge units), administrative law and regulation (cost-benefit analysis and regulatory budgets), Constitutional Law and separation of powers, political philosophy and liberalism. Recorded on August 12, 2025. ABOUT THE SERIES Each episode of Capitalism and Freedom in the 21st Century, a video podcast series and the official podcast of the Hoover Economic Policy Working Group, focuses on getting into the weeds of economics, finance, and public policy on important current topics through one-on-one interviews. Host Jon Hartley asks guests about their main ideas and contributions to academic research and policy. The podcast is titled after Milton Friedman‘s famous 1962 bestselling book Capitalism and Freedom, which after 60 years, remains prescient from its focus on various topics which are now at the forefront of economic debates, such as monetary policy and inflation, fiscal policy, occupational licensing, education vouchers, income share agreements, the distribution of income, and negative income taxes, among many other topics.

  Join Dr. Shine for a re-release of one of our most resonant episodes featuring Emily Donahue—a communications leader, storyteller, and deep thinker whose personal journey offers wisdom for anyone navigating change. In this heartfelt conversation, Emily reflects on the quiet nudges that guided her away from a high-profile job in Washington, D.C., toward a life of greater alignment and authenticity. Her story is not about abandoning ambition but about redefining success in a way that honors who you are becoming. Emily opens up about the courage it takes to listen to your inner voice, the importance of slowing down, and the value of tuning in rather than pushing through. Her reflections remind us that life isn't always about big leaps—it's about small steps toward peace, purpose, and clarity. Key Topics: Recognizing and responding to life's “nudges” Leaving a dream job to pursue personal alignment Listening to your inner voice amid noise and pressure Redefining success and identity on your own terms How storytelling shapes how we live and lead Permission to slow down and embrace transition seasons Whether you're at a crossroads or simply seeking inspiration to be more intentional with your life and work, this episode is a gentle reminder that sometimes the boldest thing we can do is pause—and listen.

In 1985, Coca-Cola changed its flavour. You probably know that this was a complete failure. ‘New Coke' was discontinued after just 79 days. But you probably don't know the true reason why New Coke failed. Many claim it was due to poor market research, but today's guest on Nudge, leading consumer behaviour expert Philip Graves, disagrees. Philip says New Coke failed not because the research was poor, but because market research is inherently flawed. Want to understand the biggest marketing blunder of the century?
