…”The Harry Potter of the policy world this summer.” (From PIRC)
Hopefully it’s a reference to the book’s popularity and impact, not that it’s a children’s book that can be enjoyed by adults. We invite readers to post their best descriptions of Nudge.

*A first of its kind manual introducing a revolution in policy making, this time of a softer kind, bound to change the landscape nonetheless.
*The bible of modest social engineering.
* A tour de force of persuasion, not coercion.
*The word Nudge now has a new meaning: The harmonious coexistence of progress and freedom.
OK that’s all I got…
