Did you hear David Cay Johnston on Kathleen Dunn's show on WPR today? Wow!  
Things are much worse on inequality / corporate gouging / Donald Trump than 
 even I imagined!

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_ 
(http://www.ted.com/talks/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_ 
(http://www.ted.com/talks/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_ 
(http://www.ted.com/talks/geoff_mulgan_post_crash_investing_in_a_better_world_1)  
 
 
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?
