Capitalism 2.0: A Roadmap to Recovery
The current economic downturn has left a lot of otherwise astute people feeling confused, lost and afraid. After years of stability and a high-flying Dow, many don't know how to navigate the newly choppy economic waters. As an entrepreneur and student of the markets who received a Masters degree in economics from Cambridge University, Arianna Huffington helps audiences make sense of an extremely complex global economic environment. With insightful analysis of where we find ourselves, how we got here and how we move forward, Huffington stresses the need to rethink the way we do business. Offering pragmatic solutions for reinventing the economy in the face of turmoil, Huffington takes a hard look at some of the dark nooks and crannies of our current economy, and helps audiences understand:
- How we get out of the mess we are in -- and how we make sure it doesn't happen again
- Why we need to move beyond stale right/left distinctions when discussing economic policy
- How to create a moral foundation for our economy based on shared ideals and values
- Why jumping only halfway over a chasm is never a good idea

In this lively presentation, Arianna Huffington, described by Fortune Magazine as one of the few people who "get" the Internet, discusses the latest online media trends -- including how media companies are turning content promiscuity into profits -- and reveals her vision of a hybrid future where traditional media and new media become one.
