The idea that systems often assume people will act in the collective interest drew my attention the most; I think self-interest always dominates, even to our own detriment. The corporations ironic attempts to excel at predicting consumer behavior are due to poor messaging and misaligned incentives similar to governments. It makes me wonder! My question is about behavioral economics; I wonder if it can ever truly guide policy in a way that anticipates these unintended consequences!
