There should be a policy for a company that makes over a certain amount of capital, they must have philanthropy mandate. Where its benefits the masses in new job creations, education, and charities. That should create a economic equality.
I absolutely loved his talk especially the last part when he advises people to: 1) think like an immigrant and stay hungry 2) PQ and CQ beats IQ, i.e., passion and curiosity always beat IQ 3) think like an entrepreneur 4) think like an artisan (take pride in what you're doing) 5) always be in beta (think, improving, learning and relearning).
I Always thanked Tom Friedman for sharing his ideas anywhere he goes, I hope one day Tom visits the Philippines and tell something about our country. Listening to him is always worth the time.
David Markham One of the issues he misses is the fact that there are more "average" people than there are "super dooper pooper ultra high tech faster than the speed of thought" technophiles in the world. The "average" people get squeezed out.The "average" people ban together.The "average" people revolt and overthrow the assholes in charge.The populace descends into a dark age of mass anarchy.The cycle repeats but never remains constant.
Masculine Buddha Funny that you comment on this post at this time as over the months I recently thought of this very post thinking I may have to retract or remove this after more study.
The most important thing that happened in 2001 was CHINA joining WTO and not what this Guy is saying . With China joining WTO suddenly there were 800 million Chinese working in manufacturing 12 hrs a day at 3.5$ an hour as a result American workers became overpriced even though they got goods cheaper at Walmart but what use is cheaper goods if you don’t get a proper salary.
Awesome talk！！ Big thank and respects for Mr. Friedman. Hopefully more and more my fellow Taiwanese people, especially the youth, can learn from the advises given by Mr. Friedman. And hopefully the isolated Taiwan can be more globally-aware in the future. God bless Taiwan. 台灣加油！！
+Robin Evans Thanks for your candor. I read a few of his books and his articles , but I never knew the extent of his fraudulent positions in (e.g. corporate expansionist/war hawk). I viewed him as a reporter on the effects of globalization and America's place in the world. But after your explanation, he's just a run-of-mill charlatan it sounds like to me. Thanks again!
Dude before you even start you gotta get rid of the word "higher" we can have foundational, focused and further, but got let go of holding your opportunity over the masses.
This is so true. Today we have automation in every sector

Why do u have a mask on your picture ?? Is this necessary ?? U look stupid . You are stupid . It has been proven it has no use . Propaganda
I have been to that Perkins he speaks about in the end of the video, funny.
A very inspiring speech! I highly recommend take the time to listen to this!
I'll look into this video!
I had some annoying thoughts and took another look. He misses some important issues and solutions but I try an look at all angles and approaches.

David Markham Well, you responded to me, didn't you?

It won't be long before automation replaces those chinese workers as well.
Awesome talk！！

He is a total idiot.
The Keillor quote should be "all the WOMEN are strong, all the men are good looking, and all the children are above average."
Excellent!
Inspiring.
Not, and an idiot listening
This is very tough speech on education and research.
Incidentally Edwin of Turkey got re-elected this week as PM of Turkey
his book is a misleading title
Honest question: Why do so many people hate Friedman?

Ough, paff!! Good to know, best to react and now
Very well said. I'll teach my kids (and ME!) the 5 rules!
Dont teach your kids, please dont, they will end up like Greta, misinformed little shits
I believe it’s one of the best speeches Tom ever did
Only what suits him.
Thomas ziag oh!
