So, about Nick Hanauer’s TED talk...
"...One other topic to ponder – though not by me – is whether all of that top top tier money has served to power increasingly risky financial behavior. It’s worth thinking about – though I suspect that the Greek meltdown will be enough to use up all spare bandwidth in the very near future. Back to the original topic – Hanauer is absolutely on to something – and it deserves to be a coherent Democratic talking point from now until November. Innovation and entrepreneurial spirit is also important but 1. It’s already in our DNA and 2. More buoyant demand is the real key. As Drucker observes, “volume solves a host of problems.” "
