Smash Notes

Are Globalism and Technology Threatening Our Way of Life

at 21:58

From the episode: Melinda Gates (live!) on stopping climate change, ending malaria, and the problems money can’t solve

Answer

These fears are very dangerous and also completely not true. Thanks to innovation, the world has grown many-fold in the last decades. We are opening up whole new markets and products to serve them. If we want to grow as a nation and to live in peace, we have to empower the world to get better. That will create opportunities for jobs and new products, and will keep our world healthy and secure. It's the only way.
