Post Rebuilding our trust before rebuilding our economy 
http://speakingoffaith.publicradio.org/programs/2009/neuroeconomics/

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.
