In a post I wrote a month back, I had talked about Predicatably Irrational Traffic – in which I talked about a bunch of motorists collectively jumping a signal which they deemed unfair.
Now, having read “The Logic of Life” a couple of weeks back, I’m not sure the heading of that was correct. I’m not sure if we were being irrational there in jumping the signal. I think what happened that day can be better classified as, to use the terminology developed by Gary Becker, etc., a “rational crime”.
