We will conclude this month's theme of Money a Wealth with a discussion about the minimum wage and its politics. Here is a TED Talk by Nick Hanauer to get the discussion started.
Hanauer is a wealthy venture capitalist who warns his fellow plutocrats that they ignore growing inequity at their own peril. This is actually his second TED Talk, but you will not find his first TED Talk on the main TED website. When Hanauer complained to TED curator Chris Anderson, Anderson created a YouTube channel only for Hanauer's first talk. Anderson has since had a change of heart and invited Hanauer to give an expanded talk at the TED office. Here is the backstory.
