Some Truths About Honesty | Alexander Wagner | TEDxZurich
Wagner takes us on an interdisciplinary journey, spanning economics, ethics, finance, psychology, and sociology. His talk provides a novel perspective on what we know about truthfulness, as well as an opportunity for introspection. Wagner leaves us with a heightened sensitivity towards the slippery slopes of deception.
