Description

This compelling work delves into the often-unacknowledged motivations behind our political beliefs, revealing how self-interest subtly yet powerfully shapes our opinions. Weeden and Kurzban challenge readers to confront the inherent biases in human reasoning, exploring why individuals are often unwilling to admit the self-serving nature of their political stances.
