Sprinkled throughout with anecdotes, examples, and references to a wide range of  scholarly literature, this new volume argues against the use of paternalistic  nudges by the government and makes a positive case for individual choice and  autonomy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003eThis book is part of White's triptych on individualism and society, which includes \u003ci\u003eThe Illusion of Well-Being\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Decline of the Individual\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Palgrave Macmillan\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2013-02-04\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781137287762\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1057\/9781137313577\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 216cm x140cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 185\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Palgrave Macmillan US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47676934357132,"sku":"9781137287762","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781137287762.jpg?v=1776552317","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9781137287762","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
