Descriptions:

To Reimagine America, we must reimagine capitalism. Capitalism has been extraordinarily successful over the past two centuries at raising human living standards, life expectancy and life satisfaction. But the old way is not working any more. The world has changed so much and people have evolved so rapidly that we need to bring a higher level of consciousness to the world of business. When we do so, the results can be astonishing.

“About TEDx:
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

  1. I think he is warning of the move to the real. Socialism is the system that's happening and that's why the elites of capitalism are so fucking scared they need to invent a scare tactic called NWO. Asholes. I hate asholes. materialistic no tomorrow asholes.

  2. More people have been pulled out of poverty at the expense of the working middle class. Private banking policies shift the money being created from the lower 80% the richest 20%. So as more money supply expands for everyone, a higher % of the Money supply continues to be siphoned to the top. It is designed to be that way. It grows monopolies, allows private owners of limited natural resources, and gives private corporations power over the people and needs of society as a whole.

    Public banking gives the profits back to the community. It sets community and environmental needs as priority. Money being created is owned by the citizens instead of private shareholders of banks and monopolies. Entire cities can combine resources and efforts to accomplish any objective by issuing the money to facilitate the creation of goods and services to succeed.

    If we had a system like this for a century, then quality, respect, collective efforts, and democracy would be far ahead of where it is now thanks to greedy capitalism. It has played a part and can still. . But not as the main system that drives humanity.

  3. Forget about the contributions of trade unions and governmental regulations. Neglect tax heavens problems, lobbying, natural resources exploitation, psycho-social risks? Historically, hasn't capitalism been built based on human exploitation (slavery)? Such issues are problems are very often absent from those “thinkers/talkers” who have a romantic relationship with capitalism 🙂 But hé, that's “ok”.

  4. Increase in IQ rate doesn't mean becoming advanced in materialism. It actually means to becomes more conscious of our ourselves. Seeing total reality means seeing that there are four real problems(Birth, Old-age, Disease and Death), which nobody can eradicate on material activities. It can done by becomes conscious of our nature, our true self!
    We are not living in most peaceful time, people are fighting for basic things which is everyone's right. Living harmony with nature, see what industrialization has done to this world. Pollution and creation of unnecessary necessities. Our challenges are not new, they are common and same for everyone. Repeated Birth, Old-age, disease and death. Because businesses can not find solutions for these problems, they dont consider it as real problems.
    Everyone who is reading this comment, please think for a moment if we need happiness or we need these so called material luxuries which are futile in nature.

  5. ….murderous monopolies leveraged by coups d' etat bespeak a MEASURED ethic surely enough…. but might ANYTHING measured within them bespeak CONTINUITY…?

  6. Truth and facts the world is electromagnetic frequencies and so is consciousness. God and gods is what lower consciousness people in this mostly lower consciousness world falsely create when in truth and facts is consciousness and connected consciousness

  7. " Nothing can raise a country's productivity except technology , and technology is the final product of a complex of sciences ( including philosophy ) , each of them kept alive and moving by the achievements of a few independent minds ."
    Ayn Rand

  8. " No, I do not believe that Mr. Nixon wants to be a dictator . But if you throw a noose around a man's ( or a nation's ) throat and keep tightening it, it makes no difference whether you want to be a murderer or not. "
    Ayn Rand 1971

  9. " Even though distorted by a mixed economy, the essential demands of legitimate economic groups are not arbitrary : a businessman cannot run his business at a loss, a worker cannot continue working if he cannot meet his expenses. "
    Ayn Rand
