| 'Robin Hood' human nature revealed | |
It is common to dismiss calls for egalitarian politics because they fly in the face of 'human nature'. But research at the University of CAlifornia shows that in fact human nature actually tends to push people to redistribute money where ever possible. "About 70 percent of participants in a game designed to test this at some point reduced or added to another person's money, most often by taking from the richest players or by donating to the poorest players - with participants even spending their own money to achieve the goal. "The researchers said even players whose own loot had been pilfered in previous rounds were willing to take steps to redistribute the money in an egalitarian manner. | |
