About the Book

A compelling exploration of how reputation affects every aspect of contemporary life Reputation touches almost everything, guiding our behavior and choices in countless ways. But it is also shrouded in mystery. Why is it so powerful when the criteria by which people and things are defined as good or bad often appear to be arbitrary? Why do we care so much about how others see us that we may even do irrational and harmful things to try to influence their opinion? In this engaging book, Gloria Origgi draws on philosophy, social psychology, sociology, economics, literature, and history to offer an illuminating account of an important yet oddly neglected subject. Compellingly written and filled with surprising insights, Reputation pins down an elusive subject that affects us all.

About the Author :
Gloria Origgi is a philosopher and a senior researcher at the Institut Jean Nicod at the National Center for Scientific Research in Paris. She has written books on trust and the future of writing on the Internet, and she maintains a blog in English, French, and Italian at gloriaoriggi.blogspot.com.

Review :
"This is a truly original, highly insightful, and highly readable book on a vital yet largely unexplored question: who do we trust, why should we trust, and how should we trust. Let's stop ignoring the expert problem. This is not a book, but the birth of a branch of applied knowledge."—Nassim Nicholas Taleb "[Reputation] mixes crunchy intellectual provocations with literary allusions, catty takes on academic life and some juicy riffs."—Ian Leslie, New Statesman "Having a good reputation is crucial for individuals, groups, and even objects. Through wide-ranging and well-crafted examples—from wine tasting to academic prestige—Gloria Origgi offers a grand tour of how the social sciences illuminate the process of reputation formation. Reputations might be imperfect, but they are unavoidable, and Origgi's book can help us make them more reliable."—Hugo Mercier, coauthor of The Enigma of Reason
