Matt Ridley on Ideas having Sex, Free Trade, & Apocalyptic Science w/ Reason's Kennedy
"[Some people] simply don't believe that when two people trade
one is not ripping the other off," exclaims Matt Ridley, zoologist
and author of The
Rational Optimist. "A big problem with the world is that human
beings find positive sum games difficult to understand."
Ridley sat down with Reason's Kennedy to discuss his thoughts on
free trade, ideas having sex and the irrationality of apocalyptic
science.
About 7 minutes.
Filmed by Anthony Fisher and Jim Epstein. Edited by Joshua
