The Real Cost of Short-Term Thinking with Robert Tracinski
About this episode
What is irrational self-interest? What is enlightened self-interest, and why do so many people get it wrong? Using a jaw-dropping real-world story of pardons and political operatives, join Atlas Society Senior Fellow Robert Tracinski for the 299th episode of Objectively Speaking, where he explains why rational, long-term thinking is the true foundation of a free and civilized society and how irrational self-interest doesn’t just fail morally, but practically as well.
