Love, Money, Profits, and Non-profits (4/19/2010) - Mike Munger of Duke University talks about the world of profit, money, love, gifts, and incentives.

Munger and Roberts have a wide-ranging discussion across these issues including a section where they discuss whether Christmas gift-giving and gift-giving in general is inefficient.
