Welcome to Crisis in Perception, where we examine the systems shaping our world.
Author: Diana B. Henriques
This episode explores The Wizard of Lies: Bernie Madoff and the Death of Trust by Diana B. Henriques as a systems-level analysis of how delegated financial trust and failed verification influences behavior, belief, and institutional outcomes.
By focusing on incentive architecture rather than personalities or events, the episode shows why these systems persist — and how they connect to larger economic, political, and cultural structures.
