Dr Cameron Murray is an expert in environmental economics, corruption and property markets. As a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow in the Henry Halloran Trust at the University of Sydney, Cameron’s PHD on the economics of corruption reveals how endemic and emergent it is to the human condition, which explains so much of the Covid-19 response we are seeing around the world today.Most startling about this interview was his game theory experiments testing and demonstrating corrupt behaviour emerging through social pressure and group/tribe dynamics. In conversation we analysed social conformity to lockdowns through the lens of his research findings.I particularly enjoyed exploring the manipulation of groups and how politicians and other leaders take advantage of populations.His book ‘Game of Mates: How Favours Bleed the Nation’ will ‘open your eyes to how Australia really works’.Watch this episode on Youtube: https://youtu.be/snIj6AZ7gP0------------------------------------------DR CAMERON MURRAYhttps://twitter.com/DrCameronMurraywww.fresheconomicthinking.comhttps://gameofmates.com/His appearance on QandA: https://www.abc.net.au/qanda/2021-10-06/13376618DISCERNABLEThe Podcast: http://discernable.io/listenThe Crew Mailing List: https://discernable.io/crewThe Video Archive: https://www.youtube.com/discernablehttps://www.discernable.io/------------------------------------------
