Michael Shermer argues that our financial decisions, market trends, and moral choices are deeply rooted in our evolutionary past. Drawing from behavioral economics and evolutionary psychology, he explains why humans act irrationally in markets, how emotions like trust and empathy influence trade, and why cooperation often triumphs over competition. Through scientific research, historical examples, and engaging storytelling, Shermer reveals that economics is not just about numbers—it’s about human nature, shaped by millions of years of social evolution.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"822\" data-end=\"1526\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"822\" data-end=\"861\"\u003eAbout the Author – \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"822\" data-end=\"1526\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMichael Shermer\u003c\/strong\u003e, born in 1954, is an American science writer, historian of science, and founder of \u003cem data-start=\"963\" data-end=\"985\" data-is-only-node=\"\"\u003eThe Skeptics Society\u003c\/em\u003e and its magazine \u003cem data-start=\"1003\" data-end=\"1012\"\u003eSkeptic\u003c\/em\u003e.
