55:00 I once saw a lecture from a recovered drug addict and he talked about the importance of helping people who are in the recovery process. He said "beeing clean is like receiving a truck load of gold and helping others is giving some of the gold away but the truck is magical - when you go bak you'll find even more gold!". Autruism is a habit that grows with practice and not a short supply good.
I have listened to Dr. Sandel's lectures for several number of times with a significant degree of fascination. I am fully intrigued about this one on Adam Smith as I have been grappling with how I can get more insight and understanding on the theory of moral sentiments as well as Adam's writings on the nature and causes of wealth of nations. I can just say that this lecture is a wonderful addition to my limited understanding on economics more generally. Thank you Dr. Sandel.
Professor Michael I deeply resonate with all of your work and I am beginning to read all your books. I hope one day I can get into Harvard Law to collaborate with you. All the best.
Here we all are in 2024, a couple months' away from the U.S. vote for president and many other representatives, etc., and this 2014 talk is even more urgent; if we were a market society then, we are definitely more so now, putting democratic societies on the brink of destruction. Scary.
A better incentive than just paying the kids to read would be to pay kids to write a review for each book they read. That would also be a check if they actually read the book and if they actually understood the meaning of the book. They will not get paid unless they do propper work. Just paying people to attend is not a good idea regardless of the excuse you might make to justify it.
We are what we have done. I belive that by rewarding with money and proper education about the value of money can be good. They can get the habit of reeding and understand the value of money it's just something you can echange for videogames and maybe they'll just want to buy more books. I belive that this subject it's very subjective about the education those kids receive from their environments. They can even understand sooner that money can't realy buy everything and that there are bigger things. I belive that seeing the money as bad or good, sends the message you can be good or bad. When money it's just money. You can be driven by money and be good. You can want to have more money to buy more books. (I lament that I didn't read more, to have a better capacity of explaining my view) And they see us working for money from the very beggining, they understand what hapens around. Giving them the chance of felling what is money, I belive will make them just smarter. Of course there will be kids that will understand the wrong way and maybe cheat by reading smaller books and pretending they read when they just read some summaries. But that just happens in everything. We are underestimating the capacity of the kids of chosing the good way.
Beliving in good, makes people see the good. Îf you're afraid of something might be bad, you give that vision to the other people and so they have the choise to chose the bad direction. This is very subjective, becauseat at the same time by knowing the options it's also better. IDK I belive that by having the fear of something can be bad. Kids will think about why adults are afraid of that, "is it an otion for me?" "maybe it's good and they don't know." "I'll show themn they are wrong!" "Are they expecting that from me?" "Am I that? And that's why theu fear it?" When if you expect good they might just think "oh they expect good, so I'm good."

Thank you Dr. Sandel.
I was hoping I could find Sandel speak on Adam Smith and look what I found. Thank you to all who make these videos possible.

I'm obsessed with his speeches
Another great teaching about morality value from Prof. Sandel, as it always be! Market can fail in many ways, but human virtue always shines.
The audience is the best part
Economic investigator Frank G Melbourne Australia is following this very informative content cheers Frank 😊
This guy is fantastic.

Absolutely.
Legend.
