Cass Sunstein, Harvard professor and former Administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs

“The idea of Moneyball, which works for baseball, certainly works in business, works in government too, is to make things based on evidence as much as can you. Don’t just take an opinion poll – if you can actually go behind the opinions to figure out what’s the data that supports the optimism, the pessimism, the anxiety or the happy talk, then the business, the government will be in better shape.” -Cass Sunstein, Harvard professor and former Administrator of the White House Office of Information and Regulatory Affairs on MSNBC’s Morning Joe, January 6, 2015
