The Science of Trust: Economics and Virtue (July 9, 2009) from APM: Speaking of Faith with Krista Tippett

As part of our ongoing Repossessing Virtue series, we'll talk to pioneering neuroeconomist Paul Zak. We look at what science is learning about trust, fair play, and empathy -- and what these qualities have to do with human character and economics.
