In today’s episode, we continue with last week’s conversation and study one of the most infamous cases of corporate greed—Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme. Madoff defrauded investors of billions of dollars, leaving thousands in financial ruin.
We’ll explore the psychological and evolutionary factors that allow leaders like Madoff to manipulate entire systems for personal gain. Through the lens of evolutionary psychology, you’ll learn about how cognitive biases affect leadership selection.
