I'm suggesting The Age of American Unreason by Susan Jacoby.  Published in 2008 I think the book is--ominously--even more timely now.  Here's a detailed book review by Laura Miler of Salon.com:

I heard about an interesting-sounding book for an old school friend over the holidays. It is called "Nudge", by Richard Thaler and Cass Sunstein, and is about how to create "choice architecture" to help individuals make smarter decisions about their lives while still maintaining freedom of choice. I think the book has many public policy implications, as well as personal relevance. Here is a link to the book's web-site:
