On the heels of his TED talk controversy, venture capitalist, entrepreneur and author Nick Hanauer (@NickHanauer) discusses the failed thinking behind trickle down economics, why traditional models of economic measurement don’t work and why his message won’t win him popularity among elites. His New Patriot Network was founded with Eric Liu and their latest book is The Gardens of Democracy: A New American Story of Citizenship, the Economy, and the Role of Government.

As usual, it’s annoying to find that most of Hayes’ critics have no forking clue about what he actually said.

Sam: just heard your comments on Mac vs Windows. I reckon that if you think about it, Windows’ success is a perfect demonstration of the failure of capitalism

Nick Hanauer still does not come up on the TED website. “They” are afraid, very afraid. What a simply brilliant way to explain exactly what is happening to our economy.
