so bob frank is usually identified on the left, he was a devout deregulator when he served in government and he thinks that for all their earnestness both sides are missing the essential message of charles darwin, that there are two sides to economics the invisible hand of market competition to be sure, making us faster, keener, safer but also the helping hand of the community in the form of government to restrain ourselves when the competition starts costing more than it benefits. >> the political conversation seems to be dominated by the idea that if the society tries to act collectively it's always going to make matters worse. but you can't just turn selfish people loose and hope for the best. there really is much more to the market than its critics realize and the people who say government can do no good for society are way off base. they don't understand the fundamental conflict that often arises between individuals and groups. >> reporter: to bob frank, then, as to charles darwin, success is a balance between the urge to cooperate and the impulse to compete. a balance in the origin
