While on the topic of great speeches by public figures, I commend to all a remarkable speech by Carly Fiorina of HP in support of globalization. She is extremely effective in providing anecdotes and personal stories that support the abstract insights of economic theory on why globalization is good for the poor.
Using Thomas Sowell’s effective insights and terminology from A Conflict of Visions, this speech is a nice example of how to sell globalization to those who have an “unconstrained” vision of human nature, as opposed to the “constrained” vision of economists.
