Review of 'Myth of Choice' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

One day at one of my college reunion, I went into the library to see what was new, if anything. I selected a book from a nearby stack and started reading it. The stack was on "law," which I thought curious, as my college had no law school. It turns out that the book was written by a lawyer and really concerned internal and external limitations and obstructions to informed decision-making (in law and otherwise). I read it greedily for an hour, picked up, and then went off to the college radio station. Anyhow, the subject of the book gnawed on me for a number of years, and I finally bought it. It's a very credible treatment of the subject and easily read. It's a good read.
