Normative analysis in economics usually aims at satisfying individuals' preferences, valuing economic freedom and viewing markets favourably. Behavioural research, however, shows that individuals' preferences are often unstable. Robert Sugden proposes a reformulation of normative economics compatible with psychology of choice.
