• "The Fable of the Bees" (link). Probably the first literary description (1705) of emergence; specifically, how private vice causes public virtue. BTW, I recommend the download rather than the stream: there's about 5 minutes of extra discussion at the end.
  
  
• How Skinner taught the US military to kill the enemy (link). First minute or so describes Gen. Marshall's study that measured the problem; skip to ~15:30 for Skinner's contribution.
