Greg Ip’s Foolproof

Posted on December 7, 2015 by Arnold Kling

My review is here. Recall that this was one of my favorite books of the year. Still, I argue for putting a slightly different slant on Ip’s story.

I would argue that the theme that unites many of the flaws in people’s judgment about risk is a focus on the salient at the expense of the less salient.
