We make choices all the time - about trivial matters, about how to spend our money, about how to spend our time, about what to do with our lives. But what kind of criteria are we applying when we say that a choice is rational? And we are also constantly judging the decisions other people make as rational or irrational.
What strategies should be applied in making decisions which affect a lot of people, as in the case of government policy? What guides our own choices, especially in cases where we don´t have complete information about the outcomes? This book explores what it means to be rational in all these contexts.
It introduces ideas from economics, philosophy, and other areas, showing how the theory applies to decisions in everyday life, and to particular situations such as gambling and the allocation of resources.
