About

Join ROM’s Justin Jennings as he explores how the idea of fairness has shaped society over the last 20,000 years. Facing new challenges, people do both wonderful and terrible things in the name of fairness. This talk explores how an understanding of how we managed past challenges can help us better navigate through today’s uncertain times.

This program celebrates the publication of the new book Finding Fairness: From Pleistocene Foragers to Contemporary Capitalists.
