Once You Know the Answer
Book • 2011
In 'Everything is Obvious: Once You Know the Answer', Duncan J. Watts challenges the notion that common sense provides reliable explanations for social and economic outcomes.
Drawing on scientific research and historical examples, Watts argues that our reliance on common sense can lead to misunderstandings of human behavior and societal trends.
He emphasizes the importance of recognizing these limitations to improve our understanding and planning for the future.
