2007 TED Prize winner Bill Clinton on TEDTalks


Accepting his 2007 TED Prize, Bill Clinton says he's trying to build a better world to hand to his daughter. Unequal, unstable and unsustainable, our world must correct its course, and private citizens ("like me") can be powerful forces for change. His Clinton Foundation, fresh from its success negotiating down pharmaceutical prices in the developing world, is now running a pilot health care system in Rwanda, based on the work of Dr. Paul Farmer in Haiti. In 18 months, it has shown potential as a model for the entire developing world. Clinton's TED wish: Help him build this system in Rwanda, to bring world-class health care to a people who have overcome deadly hatred to rebuild their nation. (Recorded March 2007 in Monterey, CA. Duration: 25:52)

The MP3 link is broken on all of the new TED Prize Winner posts. Can someone fix it?

The three winners were very good. All of them talked about seriously addressing pollution and resource depletion. And then they were all followed by a melodramatic greenwash ad for a hydrogen 7-series BMW concept car. Typical - excess, powered by a fantasy.

We cant do anything with out sponsorship. So it is OK if BMW wants to put in their add at the end.
