HN Theater has aggregated all Hacker News stories and comments that mention HowTheWorldWorks's video "Crisis of Capitalism, The Critique ‌‌ - Lee Doren".

Youtube Summary

This is a Fair Use Critique of RSA animate - radical sociologist David Harvey, where he asks if it is time to look beyond capitalism towards a new social order that would allow us to live within a system that really could be responsible, just, and humane!?

Harvey supposedly gave a lecture at the RSA (www.theRSA.org).

His entire argument can be debunked simply by looking at the Census data regarding income.

Thanks for sharing.
However, this presentation and book are only stating known facts. Of course the evolution of good ideas often take time. Of course collaboration plays a major part in the evolution of ideas. If the author makes money off of these ideas, it is only because he has neatly packaged them.
RSA Animate could draw just about anything, and it would seem like a cool and nifty idea:

Including promoting anti-capitalist thought, which I don't agree with:

Also, at one point my manager tried to use an RSA Animate video to convince me that I did not really need additional financial compensation (like raises, bonuses) to boost my morale. Regardless of whether I'm motivated by raises and bonuses, I want them, and the following neat RSA Animate video is not going to change that:

All in all, I'm not impressed.
