The Real Issue Is, How Much Goodwill

That When Given The Opportunity, Many Honest People Will Cheat.

Interesting Thing That Is Happening In American Society Is That People Are Starting To Talk About Money. I Don't Know How You Feel About This, But For A Long Time, Nobody Was Talking About Money. It Was A Secret. And It's Kind Of Very Interesting Because We Do Lots Of Stuff To Portray To People About How Much Money We Have, The Clothes We Wear And The Cars We Have And The House - They All Kind Of Depict To Other People, Signal How Much Money We Make, But We Don't Talk About It Specifically.

Dishonesty Is All About The Small Acts We Can Take And Then Think, 'no, This Not Real Cheating.' So If You Think That The Main Mechanism Is Rationalization, Then What You Come Up With, And That's What We Find, Is That We're Basically Trying To Balance Feeling Good About Ourselves.

Money Is A Wonderful Invention. It Lets Us Save, It Lets Us Specialize, Right? I Couldn't Be A Professor If There Wasn't Any Money. Every Day I Would Have To Raise Chicken And Bread And Broccoli And Go Ahead And Spend All My Time Trading. So, Money Is A Wonderful Mechanism.

When It Comes To The Mental World, When We Design Things Like Health Care And Retirement And Stock Markets, We Somehow Forget The Idea That We Are Limited. I Think That If We Understood Our Cognitive Limitations In The Same Way That We Understand Our Physical Limitations … We Could Design A Better World.
