Harford v. Ariely

Tim Harford and Dan Ariely go One-on-One over at Amazon. The problem:

Dan Ariely's Predictably Irrational and Tim Harford's The Logic of Life, have a pretty basic disagreement. Ariely, says his book jacket, "refutes the common assumption that we behave in fundamentally rational ways," while Harford's book jacket replies, "Under the surface of everyday insanity, life is logical after all." So, underneath it all, are we irrational or rational? (Or is one man's irrationality another's rationality?)

Should be an interesting debate. Worth keeping an eye on.
