How Adam Smith and Charles Darwin Got Hijacked

Description

Hazel Henderson interviews Kim Ann Curtin, author of "Transforming Wall Street." They discuss the two greatest icons of Western thought, Adam Smith and Charles Darwin, and how their ideas were distorted and misused by elites in 18th century Britain, and now in global economics and finance. Learn about Smith's "Theory of Moral Sentiments" (1759) which explores human behavior in families and communities as empathetic, caring, and cooperative, as well as Darwin's view that humanity's success is based on cooperation.
