520 _aNeatness and organization can be expensive, but the coast is often not recognised. This book shows that the disconnect is striking. It's not just that the advantages of being neat and organized are typically outweighed by the costs. That messiness and disorder can be so useful wouldn't seem such a counterintuitive notion if it were't for the bias toward neatness programmed. Disorganized people, institutions and systems frequently turn out to be more efficient, more resilient, more creative and in general more effective than highly organized ones.
