TT: How would you characterize the difference between how former US president George W. Bush nudged and how President Barack Obama has nudged or will nudge.
RT: This is too long of a question, but I will say that Obama is a big believer in transparency, which is an important component of nudging.
TT: You’ve been on the lecture circuit for roughly the past two years promoting the ideas in Nudge. How does that differ from your university work as a hard-core economist?
RT: It has been fun to get out of the Ivory tower and meet people all around the world. I am looking forward to my forthcoming trip to Asia.
