Nick Hanauer on the TED talk, income inequality controversy

A guy named Nick Hanauer -- I should say a rich venture capitalist named Nick Hanauer -- gave a TED talk, those three- or four-minute big ideas talks that started as part of a conference called Technology, Entertainment and Design, TED. They're taped and a lot of them are posted online. But Hanauer's talk from a couple of months ago, about how the wealthy really aren't the engine of economic growth, went viral this week because it wasn't posted on the TED site. Marco Tempest: Nikola Teslas elektriske storhed og fald. Ron Finley: A guerilla gardener in South Central LA.
