@22:44 A "good" society is one in which individuals have freedom: the freedom to act, to do, to live up to their full potential. "Someone without ANY resources has NO freedom to act - he does what he can to survive. That's not freedom." Amen brother.
Professor Stiglitz says that for a society to be good and continue to be good, innovations should also be directed towards creation of jobs for unskilled people. There is an underlying assumption in the argument that investments that produce such employment must be profitable too. This is not at all necessary. When the world built pyramids or temples or monuments like Taj Mahal, profitability was not at all a consideration. Perhaps government policies can be directed to build modern day monuments and thereby provide employment to the unskilled people in the society.
Monopoly, unregulated, game over - capital divergence, 1177 BC, 410 AD, Industrial revolution and colonialism, 1969 globalization. Still underestimating capital divergence Rethink Cript’s and Godals Sectorial Balances. Trade def. Results in loss ofmid class wealth, increased multinational corporations wealth, government deficits, printing money and inflation.

Glad to see you on YouTub
Very good information!!
Great interesting indeed talk Prof. Stiglitz, as usual, thank you. Best regards from the Geisha and Karaoke country.
Allowing people to eat during the talk was a supremely bad idea.
