Can innovation beat the downturn

Blogging about the need for innovation during the financial crisis reminded me of an inspiring Juan Enrique TED presentation made earlier this year.

In the first 7 minutes Mr Enrique succinctly, and often hilariously, summarises the current financial downturn. Some of the causes and consequences of the recession are discussed and possible short-term solutions to the crisis are outlined. In the latter part of the talk Mr Enrique, a leading tech and economics expert, presents a fascinating insight into how innovative technologies could solve our global economic problems and radically alter how we work and live.
