Discussion with Paul Zak, founder of Neuroeconomics.
Key concepts he discussed in brief:
Why countries don’t grow? Why there are lack of progress made on living standards?
What captures the essence of conflict is trust.
When trust is high, we can shake a hand and do a deal and then economies grow faster.
When trust is high, everything in the society works well.
Good lesson during pro-war rebuilding era of Sri Lanka. There is no moral, there is no economy.
Sri Lankan leaders, please listen to this audio.
