From Cass R. Sunstein, bestselling author of "Nudge "and "Simpler," comes a collection of thought-provoking essays that have sparked a powder keg of debate from Glenn Beck to major political pundits.

Here, in one wildly entertaining volume, are his most famous, most infamous, and most provocative pieces.

Whether you re a Democrat or Republican, liberal or conservative, Occupier or Tea Partier, you ll find something here to challenge you, provoke you, or downright enrage you. Welcome to the dangerous world of Cass Sunstein.
