CHAPTER

The Illusion of Choice

This chapter critiques the traditional notion of 'homo economicus' and explores the complexities of human decision-making beyond mere rationality. It examines the historical and contemporary implications of choice, particularly in the context of women's rights, consumer culture, and societal well-being. The discussion highlights how excessive options can complicate rather than enhance freedom, urging a reevaluation of how choice is framed in our lives.
