Night Waves - 07/07/2008

Anne McElvoy talks to economist Richard Thaler about his book, co-authored with Cass R Sunstein, Nudge: Improving Decisions about Health, Wealth and Happiness, which argues that we need to be subtly prompted to behave in our best interests. Following the decapitation of a waxwork of Adolf Hitler in the newly-opened Madame Tussaud's in Berlin, there is a look at the history of the waxwork and our enduring fascination with them. And Anne and guests review House of Saddam, a new TV drama which traces the rise and fall of Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq.
