In The Origins of Virtue, zoologist and former Economist editor Matt Ridley explores the surprising connections between self-interest and cooperation in human societies, drawing on recent research from various scientific fields. He suggests that our instinct to collaborate and help one another may have evolved as part of our natural selfish tendencies, ultimately benefiting both individuals and communities. Through engaging insights and modern scientific discoveries, Ridley offers a fresh perspective on the motivations behind human trust and virtue.
