by Jeremy Rifkin.
The author uses his animated presentation to illustrate new scientific evidence which supports the notion that empathy is an important feature of human nature. Capitalism views human nature as mostly motivated by selfishness, aggressiveness, need to dominate others; and at other times when describing working people capitalist defenders often emphasize laziness and heartlessness. Rifkin's exposition argues that capitalism has tended to distort innate human nature that has often resulted in the expression of negative traits.
