Are you more honest than a banker?
Under what circumstances would you lie, or cheat, and what effect does your deception have on society at large?
Dan Ariely, did a study with 30,000 people and discovered the interesting forces behind lying, including how an increasingly cashless society distorts our perception of dishonesty. He concludes that the modern banking system has “created the right circumstances for everybody to misbehave”.
His humorous and fascinating talk is given the RSA Animate treatment, here.
