About the book
Bryan Caplan challenges a fundamental premise of modern democracy: the assumption that citizens vote rationally. On the contrary, the economist demonstrates that voters systematically make predictable mistakes, often driven by biases that serve their psychological rather than economic interests.
With robust data and impeccable reasoning, Caplan invites an uncomfortable reassessment of how democracy works and why well-intentioned policies frequently fail to achieve their goals.
