The next age of government: David Cameron on TED.com
The leader of Britain’s Conservative Party says we’re entering a new era — where governments themselves have less power (and less money) and people empowered by technology have more. Tapping into new ideas on behavioral economics, David Cameron explores how these trends could be turned into smarter policy. (Recorded at TED2010, February 2010 in London; viewed via satellite in Long Beach, CA. Duration: 14:00)
