Richard Thaler on Preferences - Dictionary of Arguments
Mause I 178 Preferences/Thaler/Sunstein: Thaler and Sunstein's thesis of liberal paternalism: it does not limit the freedom of choice between existing options. (1) >Paternalism. SchnellenbachVsThaler/VsSunstein/VsPaternalism: Problem: preferences, especially long-term preferences, are difficult to identify. They may only be "expressive" ((s) non-linguistically expressed) or the result of little informed consideration. Ultimately, liberal paternalism is based on the same fictitious average individual as traditional paternalism. Another problem: people without self-management problems are prevented from freely forming their preferences. (2) 1. Thaler, Richard H., und Cass R.
