How the Hidden Rules of Ownership Control Our Lives</a>. This book explores the implicit social rules governing ownership. In brief, these rules are as follows:</p> <ol> <li>Attachment ("it's mine because it's connected to something of mine")</li> <li>Possession ("it's mine because I physically control it")</li> <li>First-in-time ("it's mine because I was here first")</li> <li>Labour ("it's mine because I worked for it")</li> <li>Self-ownership ("it's mine because it came from my body")</li> <li>Family ("it's mine because my grandfather left it to me")</li> </ol> <p>We discuss these six rules with reference to many examples of how they play out in the modern world, from conflicts over airline seats to the rise and fall of Soviet communism.</p> <hr />

The Kindness of Strangers with Michael McCullough
<p>Today's guest is Michael McCullough of the University of California, San Diego. We are discussing his book <a href= "https://amzn.to/3dpUWQY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Kindness of Strangers: How a Selfish Ape Invented a New Moral Code</a>.</p> <blockquote>How did humans, a species of self-centered apes, come to care about others? Since Darwin, scientists have tried to answer this question using evolutionary theory. In The Kindness of Strangers, psychologist Michael E. McCullough shows why they have failed and offers a new explanation instead. From the moment nomadic humans first settled down until the aftermath of the Second World War, our species has confronted repeated crises that we could only survive by changing our behavior. As McCullough argues, these choices weren’t enabled by an evolved moral sense, but with moral invention — driven not by evolution’s dictates but by reason.<br /> <br /> Today's challenges — climate change, mass migration, nationalism — are some of humanity’s greatest yet. In revealing how past crises shaped the foundations of human concern, The Kindness of Strangers offers clues for how we can adapt our moral thinking to survive these challenges as well.</blockquote> <hr />
