This week's ekon talk is about violence in human affairs over the centuries. Our guest, stunt man and action designer eric jacobus, explains why humans are more violent than animals. We'll also look at how all of this infuses his work with violence in the visual arts.
Stuntman and action designer Eric Jacobus joins EconTalk host Russ Roberts for a no-holds-barred discussion of the biological basis for violence and how to avoid the worst of it, the value of violence as spectator sport, and the vast superiority of duels to feuds--Alexander Hamilton notwithstanding.
