How Change Happens by Cass R. Sunstein
A concise examination of why societal change often occurs in sudden bursts rather than gradually, focusing on how social norms, preference falsification, and reputational or informational cascades transform small signals into sweeping shifts. It explains how law, institutions, and information flows—including social media, transparency mandates, and subtle policy nudges—can trigger tipping points that reshape beliefs and behavior. Offering pragmatic guidance, it highlights ethical constraints, the dangers of polarization and manipulation, and the importance of safeguarding free expression while steering norms toward greater welfare.
