‘The choices we make are driven not by cold, rational calculation but by our emotions such as for example love, compassion, anger, ego and altruism. Raghunathan tells the fascinating story of how this profound understanding is reshaping economics’ Duvvuri Subbarao, Former Governor, Reserve Bank of India

 

‘Raghu has long known and taught that finance and economics is not the solving of a sum but the painting of a picture. This book is a wonderful manual for anybody struggling with the recent struggles of economics’ — Manish Sabharwal, Vice Chair and co-founder, TeamLease Services Ltd and Managing Trustee, New India Foundation

 

‘Irrationally Rational makes for an excellent read, including for policy professionals, who can use the principles of behavioural economics-say in designing “nudging” policies. Presenting the works of ten different Nobel laureates and their vast body of work in a mid-sized book is a difficult challenge, accomplished competently by the author’  Rajiv Kumar, Vice Chairman, NITI Aayog
