Why Our Micro-Decisions are So Important

This is an excellent lecture of almost 50 minutes from Douglas Rushkoff, an author, teacher, and documentarian who focuses on the ways people, cultures, and institutions create, share, and influence each other’s values. He teaches media studies at the New School University, serves as technology columnist for The Daily Beast, and lectures around the world. In an epic lecture,he begins by providing a quick historical perspective on the creation of financial markets starting around 1600 to present, talks about way financial markets have reached their historical zenith and then ranges from why he fears America will not rise again to why our personal micro-decisions wil now be so important.
