Private Truths, Public Lies: The Social Consequences of Preference Falsification Kuran Timur
Preference falsification, according to the economist Timur Kuran, is the act of misrepresenting one's wants under perceived social pressures.

It happens frequently in everyday life, such as when we tell the host of a dinner party that we are enjoying the food when we actually find it bland.
Another is Drawing on diverse intellectual traditions, including those rooted in economics, psychology, sociology, and political science, Kuran provides a unified theory of how preference falsification shapes collective decisions, orients structural change, sustains social stability, distorts human knowledge, and conceals political possibilities.A common effect of preference falsification is the preservation of widely disliked structures.
