Humanist Community in Silicon Valley Sunday Morning Forum: Economics from a Humanist Perspective

Hamid Javanbakht, Stanford University student of service systems  engineering and post-industrial economics, will be discussing how incentive-altruism and selfishness need not always be working at cross-purposes. He will also be questioning whether morality is always effective at producing desirable behavior in cases where perverse incentives are built into the system such as finance and the military.
