Jealousy is a very common source of anger. A romantic jealousy, friendship jealousy. There's any different jealousy over achievement. And i think at lot iis just a form of over an over demand for control. When we see ourselves more as a part of an ensemble, i think we're better teachers, better friends. I don't really need i to go the way i planned it, so i'm thrilled. Ah, but that's not always easy for me. So let's close with jealousy.
Philosopher Agnes Callard of the University of Chicago talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about anger. Is anger something we should vilify and strive to eradicate in ourselves? Or should we accept it as a necessary and appropriate human emotion? Callard takes a fresh look at anger and has much to say about jealousy, desire, and forgiveness as well.
