i think that panic is an interesting metaphor for the challenge of paying attention. So many times our minds are racing with heir worries and our fears and our excitement, sometimes not all bleaqu but it makes it hard to pay attention. It's easy to forget ther other people like you, struggling to be human beings. And the paying attention part is what redeems a lot of a lot of her lesser side of herself.

Physician and careful reader Richard Gunderman of Indiana University talks with EconTalk host Russ Roberts about how Adam Smith and Leo Tolstoy looked at greed. Drawing on Tolstoy's short story, "Master and Man," and adding some Thomas Hobbes along the way, Gunderman argues that a life well-lived requires us to rise above our lower desires. Join Gunderman and Roberts for a sleigh ride into a snowy blizzard, where you won't find your way by following rules, but rather by recognizing what needs to be seen.
