YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Harry talks with Harvard Law School professor and DHS official Cass Sunstein about his paper, “Beatlemania,” which explores the conditions that propel one idea or artist or politician to prominence while others never hit and fall into obscurity. Perhaps in the case of the Beatles the incandescent quality of their work would have guaranteed success in any event, and yet for a time even they were facing failure and also-ran status until a few good breaks launched them to stratospheric fame. Sunstein, whose vast scholarly output includes classic books about behavioral economics such as Nudge, brings actual data from social science experiments to analyze the linchpins of success and failure.
