Mary Ruwart: Healing Our World

Author of the bestselling "Healing Our World In An Age of Aggression," Dr. Mary Ruwart is a research biochemist, Libertarian activist, and  advocate for enlightened self interest that includes loving our neighbors and accepting responsibility for our own actions.

Dr. Ruwart believes humanity is able to transcend the win-lose scenarios that keep our world in constant strife by systematically applying win-win tactics to our social interactions.

In this segment, Dr. Ruwart explains how the FDA really works, why regulation is failing us, and why lack of consumer choice is preventing life-saving drugs from reaching people who need them. 

She also addresses abuse of power by governments and how countries export aggression and invite contempt and conflict.
