Co-operation

The Forum

Available for over a year

Are we only nice to each other when we believe we’re being watched and could be punished, whether by CCTV cameras, or an omniscient angry god? Or are there other forces that encourage co-operation? Questions Bridget Kendall asks social psychologist Ara Norenzayan. She also talks to Gandhi biographer Ramachandra Guha and poet Elaine Feinstein about the power of non co-operation, as an individual or a group.
