"Sacrifice can often prove difficult. "Self-Interest vs. Altruism in the Global Era: How Society Can Tum Self-Interests into Mutual Benefit" discusses this conflict that is often present when trying to create incentives for good will. Stating that society's future relies on cooperation of people to work together for society, stating that much of society's degradation in recent decades has been the result of narcissism and greed. "Self-Interest vs. Altruism" is a curious and recommended read for those who believe that optimism in human nature is not entirely lost." - Midwest Book Review January 2012
