Joe Henrich: What Makes Society Smart?

October 05, 2020

My guest today is Joseph Henrich, a professor at Harvard and an expert on the evolution of human cooperation and culture.
In this episode, we talk about the role big Gods play in cultural evolution, the time Joe spent living with small-scale societies in rural Peru and Fiji, and what economists can learn from anthropologists and the evolution of attraction. Please enjoy my conversation with Joseph Henrich.
