Taylor discusses the dichotomy those of us who enjoy democracy. At the same time we say we want to help others, we also suggest spending other people’s money instead of our own. He proposes that we change the content of our political discussions.
My favorite part: recapping the studies that show that we tend to associate our successes with our skills and our failure with circumstances while we do the reverse in analyzing others.
