BARRY SCHWARTZ – Dorwin P. Cartwright Professor of Social Theory and Social Action. Author of The Paradox of Choice: Why More is Less, Schwartz’s work explores the social and psychological effects of free-market economic institutions on moral, social, and civic concerns. In his new book Practical Wisdom, he and co-author Kenneth Sharpe argue that without such wisdom, neither detailed rules nor clever incentives will be enough to solve the problems we face. |
