Visible to anyone in the world
Edited by Neal Grout, Tuesday 5 April 2011 at 17:36
"People have a genetically programmed sense of fairness. This means we are wired
for cooperation and egalitarianism as much as we are wired for violence and
competition. The environment determines which behavior will be expressed. This
also means that humans are not naturally predisposed toward capitalism. People
only accept capitalism so long as they think it's fair - that's where economics
comes in to play."
