How to get the biggest return on investment | Bassem Kamar | TEDxIUM

This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. At TEDxIUM, Professor Bassem Kamar talks about a different kind of return on investment. Finance and politics are areas where we find today’s biggest investments, but they often lead to small, if any, returns. The biggest new return on investment is the result of our small but collective social actions. Professor Bassem Kamar is currently a consultant with the International Monetary Fund, after spending five years as an economist with the IMF Institute for Capacity Development. Originally from Egypt, he is professor of Economics and Director of Research Dissemination at IUM. Additionally, he is the owner and General Manager of Global Economic and Finance Consulting, a company providing services to governments and international institutions such as the World Bank and the European Commission, among others. Mr. Kamar is the author of “Globalization and Exchange Rate Policies” and of numerous scientific articles. About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

9. The solution for change is to build a coalition and then inform the candidates that unless they vote for a bill requiring a cure for cancer be promoted, and not be suppressed by the prescription companies (that are only interested in profits for TREATING cancer (and suppressing the cures) then they won't get the vote from the coalition. People are being murdered for even taking this stand. I will be surprised if you even are still alive for trying to stand against the Cancer promoters who "Treating Cancer."
