The Pros and Cons of America’s (Extreme) Individualism (Ep. 470 Replay)

from Freakonomics Radio · host Freakonomics Radio + Stitcher

According to a decades-long research project, the U.S. is not only the most individualistic country on earth; we’re also high on indulgence, short-term thinking, and masculinity (but low on “uncertainty avoidance,” if that makes you feel better). We look at how these traits affect our daily lives and why we couldn’t change them even if we wanted to.  Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
