The Psychology of Totalitarianism with Mattias Desmet (WiM201)

The "What is Money?" Show

Mattias Desmet, author of the book "The Psychology of Totalitarianism," joins me for a conversation on how money, incentives, and media help shape mass-formation psychosis. We also discuss how mass-formation psychosis has manifested historically, and ways we can become less susceptible to these catastrophic delusions.
