Uri Gneezy and John List are revolutionaries in their field. In this informative book, they discuss what really works in addressing big social, business, and economic problems, giving us new understanding of the motives underlying human behavior. With these points addressed, incentives can then be structured to change behavior, giving people a method to make significant, positive changes in their lives.
