http://fora.tv/2009/09/21/Reflections_on_Leadership_for_Social_Change#Ruth_Simmons_Human_Connection_Key_to_Saving_the_WorldHuman connectedness is key to saving the world, says Ruth Simmons, professor at Brown University. "We have to think about the way that we all link together as human beings," while tackling climate change and healthcare issues of tomorrow. "Systems will never solve the problem if we don't do that."
Professor Simmons also puts in a word for the humanities (go English majors).
Her insight is very reminiscent of Friedman's Hot, Flat and Crowded and also Appadurai's Modernity at Large.
