About the Author

Cass R. Sunstein is a renowned legal scholar, behavioral economist, and author whose work bridges the gaps between law, psychology, and public policy. A former Administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs under President Obama, Sunstein has held distinguished positions at Harvard Law School and the University of Chicago, influencing generations of thinkers on how cognitive biases shape decision-making. His explorations into the subtleties of human judgment reveal the often-overlooked 'noise' that undermines fairness and efficiency in everything from judicial rulings to everyday choices. Through accessible yet profound prose, Sunstein challenges readers to recognize and mitigate these flaws, fostering a more rational society. Notable among his contributions is the insightful 'Ruido: Un fallo en el juicio humano / Noise: A Flaw in Human Judgment (Spanish Edition),' co-authored with Daniel Kahneman, which dissects the hidden inconsistencies in our perceptions.
