Measuring Morality: how brain chemistry proves natural empathy

Professor at Claremont Graduate University, economics and neuroscience expert and senior fellow with the Fraser Institute, Paul Zak, joins me this week to discuss the relationship between empathy and brain chemistry, which proves Adam Smith's Theory of Moral Sentiments , and how as a consequence these ideas are embedded in civilizations. We even get into how exactly morality is measured in the brain, and how it connects to operating in society.
