The Rise of the Superclass

By David Rothkopf - Stanford
get flash player

Lecture Description

We can't legislate against historical trends in the global age, but we can look more closely at the well-networked superclass - those who have broad influence across international borders on a regular basis. The Superclass has money, power, and influence - but it's woefully short on ethics in the global interest. Author David Rothkopf describes this influential core of the global power structure and stresses that economic prosperity can't be the only metric of a civilization's success.
