Abstract

This article discusses a book titled "Principles of Behavioral Economics: Bringing Together Old, New and Evolutionary Approaches." The book aims to integrate old and new behavioral economics with an evolutionary analysis. It primarily focuses on the old branch of behavioral economics, which examines decision-making under uncertainty. However, the book overlooks other branches of new behavioral economics, such as social preferences and preference instability. The author suggests that the book may not engage as many practitioners of new behavioral economics as desired. Despite this limitation, the book provides valuable insights into the old branch of behavioral economics and its applications in various contexts, including government, organizations, and resource consumption.
