Arguments Against Monarchy and Perceptual Biases

Why do some people become ‘super spreaders’ for fashions and ideas? Why might an acceptance letter from a top University be worth more than a degree from the same establishment? These and many more questions are answered in this episode.

My guests are Behavioural Science gurus Paul Craven, Rory Sutherland and Gerald Ashley and this is Part Two of a three part series recorded at the world-famous Abbey Road Studios.

Before listening to it, I highly recommend listening to Part One, which you’ll find here.
