TOO MUCH INFORMATION - CASS R SUNSTEIN KARTONIE...

Bestselling author and recipient of the 2018 Holberg Prize  Cass R. Sunstein explores how more
information can make us happy or miserable  and why we sometimes avoid it—but sometimes seek it
out. How much information is too much? Do we need to know how many calories are in the giant
vat of popcorn that we bought on our way into the movie theater? Do we want to know if we are
genetically predisposed to a certain disease? Can we do anything useful with next week's
weather forecast for Paris if we are not in Paris? In Too Much Information  Cass Sunstein
examines the effects of information on our lives. Policymakers emphasize the right to know  but
Sunstein takes a different perspective  arguing that the focus should be on human well-being
and what information contributes to it. Government should require companies  employers 
hospitals  and others to disclose information not because of a general right to know but when
the information in question would significantly improve people's lives.
