Steward Brand in the 21st Century

If you know me at all you probably know I am interested in the subjects of poverty and small business. Maybe you don't recall the name Stewart Brand right away. He was one of the original greens in the USA. He founded and published "The Whole Earth Catalog." Now he is tweaking the nose of some of his old ecology buddies by going against the standard marching orders.

While I probably don't agree with most of what he says, he has an interesting perspective on entrepreneurship, poverty, energy and food. This is from a TED conference. Please check out the video and you have to watch to the 6:40 mark. Trust me the payoff is worth it.
