  • More about A Political Economy of Behavioural Public Policy

Behavioural public policy (BPP) is a framework that argues for a liberal political economy that allows individuals to be free of manipulative or coercive interference, rather than seeking to "correct" their conception of the desired life.

Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 250 pages
Publication date: 23 February 2023
Publisher: Cambridge University Press


Behavioural public policy has, thus far, been predominantly shaped by approaches that posit the legitimacy of policymakers to craft policies aimed at nudging or influencing individuals to steer clear of desires that may not align with their self-interest. In contrast, this book advocates for a liberal political economy that takes a radical departure from these paternalistic frameworks. Oliver posits a framework wherein individuals who cause no substantive harm to others should be exempt from manipulative or coercive interference. According to this perspective, behavioural public policy (BPP) does not aim to "correct" an individual's conception of the desired life. This book serves as the third installment in Adam Oliver's trilogy, exploring the origins and conceptual foundations of BPP.
