"Here's an enthusiastic (though suitably sober) toast to The Economics of Excess ! It provides a lively and accessible introduction to the new behavioral economics of addiction, rescuing an intrinsically fascinating topic from the tedium of scholarly formalisms. It's a great initiation for students and teachers alike."-Philip J. Cook, Duke University and author of Paying the Tab: The Costs and Benefits of Alcohol Control, "Harold Winter's superbly written diagnosis of smoking, obesity, and alcohol abuse shows the tremendous power of economic analysis in illuminating these most challenging risky behaviors. The Economics of Excess provides an engaging tour through issues such as addiction as well as a deft assessment of paternalistic interventions."—W.

Synopsis
The Economics of Excess discusses both standard and behavioral economics as they apply to addiction, indulgence, and social policy.Chapter One provides a thorough discussion of economic models of addiction. The model developed in most detail takes into account both standard and behavioral approaches. The next three chapters examine specific indulgences: smoking, drinking, and overeating. The heart of this book is its comprehensive discussion of what is often referred to as the "new paternalism." Many economists are now challenging the more traditional belief that, unless they are harming others, people should be left to their own indulgences. As more and more economists are arguing for policies that are designed to protect people from themselves, this book offers a serious, yet accessible, discussion of the pros and cons of such interventions.Written in an approachable style, this book will serve researchers who are new to the economics of addiction and students in a variety of economics and policy courses alike., The Economics of Excess discusses both standard and behavioral economics as they apply to addiction, indulgence, and social policy.
