Hayoung Lim, Chapter 2, Q 6
The thing that stood out to me the most in the chapter was at the very end. Within the entirety of this chapter he speakes of the uninteded consequences of imporper usage of incentives to produce an apropriate response. Though it was only at the end when he ties togethor the idea that he hoped to impose onto the reader that I began to see the slipery slope that could incur from weilding incentives. He says that incentives are a "powerful tool" that can be used to "improve the human condition". I would agree with that statement but I wonder the possiblities of misuse of such a power. Who has the athority to tell of what will improve the human condition aand use incentives to push people into submission. Though I do recognize its great benifits I worry of the possible overt use of its abilites to derail freedom of choice. When one begins to force people to pay to ride into the cities or revoke driving privledges I see a fine line being walked upon.
