Deciding in democracies
The long road to self-government
From: Too Dumb for Democracy?
$2.60
Chapter Two explores the context in which we make good or bad political decisions. You cannot separate a decision from the time and place in which it is made. Our personalities and brains, our environment, and the institutions within which we think, what information is available to us, what we pay attention to, and a panoply of incentives and disincentives guide us towards one option or another. The history of bad political decision-making has also been the history of social and political collapse.
