Fear is not a flaw in the human design. Fear is the design. Every person alive today is the descendant of someone who was afraid enough, at the right moment, to survive. The problem is that someone figured this out. Somewhere in the deep past, long before written language, long before cities or governments or religion, someone noticed that a frightened person does what they are told.

En este brillante ensayo, Jean Tirole, uno de los economistas más influyentes del mundo, nos facilita el acceso a las teorías económicas que le valieron el Premio Nobel. Cuando Tirole ganó en 2014 el Premio Nobel de Economía, pasó a verse detenido en la calle por perfectos desconocidos que le pedían que comentara las cuestiones del día.
