Interesting talk by Hans Rosling, with the STUPIDEST videography I've ever seen; the scene switches away from the actual data to

see Hans's unchanging enthusiastic facial expression that provides no data. Awful!

Is this one of those automated lecture halls?

Simply leaving the camera on the data screen would have worked better.

I wish I had a professor like that.

Ffs i stopped watching this excellent presentation due to the inability to view hans' hard work with stats due to the camera mostly focused on his face for 30 seconds a time, presentation 5 seconds a time

[azulselene]

Could this presentation be repeated with a good cameraman? one that understans students are interested in the blackboard, particularly in a presentation that uses visual devices

WHY was the camera on Prof Rosling's face during the times he was commenting on the illustrations? Excellent speaker, fascinating subject - totally ruined by inept camera work.

Download free from Torrentz the documentary The Money Masters - it explains very clearly how international bankers gained control of America. It is the best doc I have seen that shows how the banking system works in controlling the worlds economy and manipulating the economies of entire nations. It was made in 1996 and in its conclusion it predicted, almost prophetically, the recent Wall Street crash, the world economic crash, right down to housing foreclosures. It was deliberately engineered!

...The bank then owns his business and "charitably" allows him to stay on as an employee on a fixed salary while the bank reaps all the profits and calls the shots about how the business is run. By taking "loans for profit"out of the equation, it is proved that poverty can be cured. But I don't know how long the banking system will allow this to continue.Too much money involved. America alone owes banks trillions just on the interest payments. Loan sharks plain and simple! What a scam!

The loan sharks in this village with the women's successful yet unprofitable cottage industries are a small scale example of loan shark banks worldwide. Take an entrepreneur whose success has led him to expand.He goes to the bank to get a loan so he can buy the equipment etc, and because of his success, he knows he can pay the loan off quickly.Then the loan shark (bank) increases the interest payments steadily until he cant pay anymore.
