Design, Decisions, and Democracy

By reviewing different voting systems, their original intents, and their deficits, Making Better Choices argues for a systems engineering approach to making better collective choices in society. Written by an economist and an engineer, this groundbreaking work draws from insights in sociology, linguistics, law, political science, philosophy, psychology, economics, and systems design.
