'This innovative book is far ahead of its time. The authors want to promote a more rational form of government and to produce a happier society. They will. This is cost-benefit analysis for real humans. Jeremy Bentham would marvel at, and applaud, the authors' work.' Andrew Oswald, Professor of Economics and Behavioural Science, University of Warwick
