Legal Commentary

I am, I suspect, the last law professor in America to actually "read" (as opposed to "get a good sense of what the book's about by listening to NPR and reading a few relevant magazine articles") the Sunstein and Thaler "Nudge" book.  I listened to it, actually, while running.  And, I thought it was funny that a book which has its (somewhat precious) leitmotif  the importance of distinguishing between real people ("humans") and hypothetical, Spock-esque rational actors ("econs") is -- at least the version I listened to is -- "read", apparently, by the same technology that talks to me when I call the Delta service number.
