Nicholas Christakis with Dr. Vivek Murthy: The Enduring Impact Of Coronavirus

Commonwealth Club of California

Streamed live on Oct 28, 2020
Nicholas Christakis is a physician and sociologist at Yale University who explores the ancient origins and modern implications of human nature. Christakis’ research focuses on the social, mathematical and biological rules that form social networks as well as the implications of human connection that influences thoughts, feelings and behaviors.

In his new book Apollo’s Arrow, Christakis explores the impact of the coronavirus pandemic in America and the implications that will follow in the coming years. Christakis uses a range of disciplines to unpack the effects of a modern pandemic, including historical epidemics, contemporary analyses and trailblazing scientific research. The coronavirus pandemic and the epidemics that have come before it, though mostly unknown territory to those alive today, is fundamental to the human biological experience.

Join Christakis and former U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy for a conversation about adaptation, survival and the rapid change we’ve undergone in 2020.

How Will Coronavirus Impact Us As a Society? | Amanpour and Company

Amanpour and Company

Published on Mar 20, 2020

Nicholas Christakis is a physician, sociologist and author who has an important message for us all: even in trying times, humans show an innate instinct for good. It’s a case he makes in his latest book “Blueprint: The Evolutionary Origins of a Good Society.” He speaks with Hari about this latest theory. He also explains the importance of social distancing and why it actually works as well as how coronavirus compares to other pandemics in the past 100 years; how the U.S. response fares in comparison to other countries; and how — as a sociologist — Christakis thinks the epidemic may impact us as a society.

Originally aired on March 20, 2020.

AskProfWolff: How Socialists Win in Rural and Farm Areas

Democracy At Work

Published on Jan 14, 2021

A patron of Economic Update asks: “I am fascinated about socialist & marxist movements in rural areas, small towns and among farmers. This seems inconceivable in todays climate. Especially when these are normally people who are historically suspicious of government intervention. I am curious as to what kind of socialism did these rural socialist envision? Was it government ownership of land? Land redistribution? Cooperatives? A combination?”

This is Professor Richard Wolff’s video response.
