It&#39;s really good, in spite of some disagreements I have with the author&#39;s claims (e.g. he seems to not understand Ayn Rand, though at least not as badly as Pinker...)<br /><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/forums/thread/23154.aspxSat, 22 Mar 2008 01:23:06 GMT944abf2b-d1be-4bf2-990d-438cb0e377e9:23154Andrew0https://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/forums/thread/23154.aspxhttps://archive.freecapitalists.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=8&PostID=23154Hey guys I was wondering if any of you have read Micheal Shermer&#39;s book The Mind of the Market. He studies the evolution of man and our economic activity. Through evolutionary psychology he finds out why the human mind can not understand capitalism and our disposition towards socialism, because of our early Hunter/gather society where most people split all good evenly. He also studies trade and the effects on the mind of making a fair exchange, and why free trade stops hostility and builds interpersonal bonds with people. Great book. What do you think?<div style="clear:both;"></div>
