Upon the fall of Saddam Hussein's government in April 2003, news accounts described in grim detail how Iraqs National Museum was pillaged while American forces stood yards away and did nothing. An epidemic of archaeological looting erupted throughout Iraq and continues largely unchecked to this day.

Conference Description: Advances in behavioral economics raise serious doubt about the ability of individuals to make choices that will work to their benefit over the long term.
