Geoff Mulgan: Post-crash, investing in a better world
Loading...
Uploaded by TEDtalksDirector on Sep 2, 2009
http://www.ted.com As we reboot the world's economy, Geoff Mulgan poses a question: Instead of sending bailout money to doomed old industries, why not use stimulus funds to bootstrap some new, socially responsible companies -- and make the world a little bit better?

The cardiac arrest? Vampires?
The banksters CAUSE the crisis.They raped and defrauded the globe and caused instability in the global financial system. No PHD from Yale needed to figure this one out.
The U.S Banksters, federal reserve (Biggest fraud in the history of the world) call the shots. No democracy here.

To some of the people who has negatively commented of this video...
Maybe you should know that Schopenhauer identified three stages for any new ‘truth’: ‘first, it is ridiculed. second, it is violently opposed, third, it is accepted as being self-evident.’ Enjoy.

I'm sure the Marxism v2.0 this guy described will be about as successful as version one was in the Soviet Union. This stuff is why alot of people believe mainstream academia is rampant with left wing propaganda. Giving this guy a speaking slot in the TED conference just gives him the illusion of credibility when really all he saying is government should control the economy which is a very old and tried concept. He must believe the socialists of today are somehow smarter than they were years ago.

The video about investing in education and elderly care and you talk about being robbed and stabbed by blacks. I think that says volumes about you and very little about the video.

If the majority of society thinks that some people are hoarding too much money, yes capitalism is not perfect and its not a completely fair system,..... Anyways, if the majority of the population thinks that we should tax the rich more and deliver the taxes in the form of better schools or hospitals, or whatever..People have a right to do that.... Its very necessary for a democracy to keep a finger on the distribution of wealth..Otherwise the lower class gets fucked... Read a history book.
