Elogio del decluttering, de Tim Harford

Por una parte, nunca hubiera esperado algo así de Harford, pero como él bien explica, la cosa tiene toda su lógica económica...

If anything, the blind spot in classical economics is that the last word on what consumers value is what consumers choose. Behavioural economics, famously, has a different view — it says that we do make systematic mistakes. But until reading Kondo’s book, I didn’t realise that in every overstuffed bookshelf and cluttered cupboard those mistakes were manifesting themselves.
