What if the answer is actually throwing money at the problems? In this thought-provoking talk, philanthropic advisor Natalie Cargill shares what might happen if we came together to spend 3.5 trillion dollars on fixing the world. And, yes, she also has a plan for where to get the money from. (Followed by a Q&A with Anna Verghese, executive director of The Audacious Project.)

  • How to Be a Better Human: How labor unions create worker power
    We don't know about you, but we are fans of weekends. And social security. And health insurance. And the end of child labor!
