[Lekooks] Ted Talks Friday March 11, 2016

[Phil Smith]

TED Talks will be meeting this Friday, March 11 from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. at Milwaukee Street Traders (523 Milwaukee St. in Delafield).   Last month we decided to look for TED Talks on social democracies. I spent a fair amount of time searching TED Talks and came up empty on this, though I did find several great talks on issues related to global labor, the changing world political landscape and investing in socially responsible companies. I loved all three of these.  As always feel free to bring a suggestion for us.
Auret van Heerden: Making global labor fair 
FLA head Auret van Heerden talks about the next frontier of workers' rights -- globalized industries where no single national body can keep workers safe and protected. How can we keep our global supply chains honest? Van Heerden makes the business case for fair labor.

Paddy Ashdown: The global power shift 
Paddy Ashdown believes we are living in a moment in history where power is changing in ways it never has before. In a spellbinding talk he outlines the three major global shifts that he sees coming.

Geoff Mulgan: Post-crash, investing in a better world 
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?
