SXSW 2012 - Saving the New Economy From the Past

Saving the New Economy From the Past
Event	Interactive 2010
Format	Dual
Organizer	Jesper Andersen – Freerisk.org
Description	With the collapse of existing economies and institutions, we have a chance to build new systems in their place that naturally and automatically encourage rational behavior and investing. We’ll talk about how collective behavior can transcend socialist clichés and build new financial institutions that are transparent, reliable and trustworthy.
Questions Answered	What went wrong with the financial systems? Why were these problems predictable? Why weren't these problems solved before? How can the Internet be used to fix our economy? Why is collective intelligence and a web-centric approach essential to solving these problems? How is collective intelligence different / better than "socialism"? How will my idea fit in a network based economy? Why do I care, personally? How can government and the private sector re-think their relationship? How can we learn to move ahead of government to regulate our institutions?
Level	Intermediate
