I've read the book that this talk comes from. It's called 'Gang Leader For a Day' and it's fucking awesome (I'm only 5:57 into the video, so don't know if he mentions the book by title). Would highly recommend it, Thumbs up if you agree

F3***********:

YouTube recommendations is clearly broken, but i really enjoyed his presentation.

ed*********:

This guy really gets it. He must have been a hopper in a corner somewhere.

Th*************:

Back when a sufficient warning of adult content at the beginning meant that everyone just agreed that anything could be said and they wouldn't try to ruin your life for saying the n word.

Sa*************:

When he describes the gang leaders having gold plated jewelry and leased cars, it reminds me of the point of celebrities to encourage the general population into debt.

Ch************:

i have such a crush on Steve Levitt!! <3

Au********:

The amount of laughter this audience reacted with to him using the vernacular of the gang members is telling...

As**************:

Fantastic speech

He**********:

that ad at the end was actually clever... look at how the companies perceive us now...

Al*****:

This video just won the YouTube Algorithm Lottery.
Nobody in 2019:

YouTube Algorithm: You get a recommendation, and you get a recommendation.
Everyone gets a recommendation!

74****:

That's why I flew solo. And can tell you made more than $3.50 ph.

Ad*******:

Hey TED, would it be possible for you to reupload these in HD or at least 360p or 480p

Ja*******:

Yo was selling weed making more money than that having to move 2-3 times a day ... That is a lie.

ge*************:

I watched an Andrew Yang interview and this was recommended. I agree the recommendation is a bit weird - maybe Youtube thinks I'm into smart people?

jo************:

This was all laid out in maybe the best TV show of all time...."The Wire".

al******:

man this has to be the best TED ive seen!

Ro************:

he didn’t say “the N word” he repeated a quotation from another person that said it. in the immortal words of Joan Rivers... “oh, grow up!”

Ja***********:

Pretty much every competitive environment operates on that last quote from the drug dealer.

Ja*********:

Freakonomics was a great book. I know a lot of research went into it, but I'd love to read more just like it.

cr*******:

Tarantino is taking notes to his next movie... " did you know that we get lower wages then a MacD employee".. :D

Ju********:

The term "real world" is used abundantly. When I was active duty we called mainstream America the "real world" and when I was is college we did the same. I don't believe his intention was to discount the struggle of their lifestyle but to relay to the audience that it was an entirely different lifestyle.

J:

Boy that n-bomb at the end would have caused a stir in 2017. Still, I wish my econ books had had those gang member explanations for economic theories, they were fantastic!

ad**********:

Talking about the eighties while dressed as the nineties on a platform in the 2000’s

Pr*************:

anyone else getting Idiocracy vibes around here? hahah!

Ch*********:

freakonomics is such a good book!

Jo**********:

They laugh because crying would be inappropriate.

Ne***************:

I wonder if Rob Ford watched this? Probably not.

Na****:

I'm was supposed to be studying corporate finance when I was watching this. I later realized our professor told us to read Freconomics. I had written this in my notes and forgot about it. I guess I was procrastinating and studying at the same time.

Pe*********:

I wonder if Vince Gilligan ever watched this?

Ka************:

Im gonna reverse his statement: why is mcdonals such a crappy job that you have to moonlight as a drug dealer?

Ro*****:

Maybe this is a little off topic about drug dealing, but it does relate to McDonalds. I used to go to McDonalds about once a week, but then I started to learn more about the business model, employee pay, and business practices at McDonalds. Based on all the information I gathered I decided that I wanted to stop going there. And I told other people I knew why I decided not to buy food there. Many people had told me it didn't matter if I went or not, that I was not enough to stop the company by myself. But then I started thinking about the impact of just one sale at McDonalds. If I spend $15 on a meal, that's enough to pay one employee for an hour of work. If one franchise sold 800 orders in a day, that crew member I paid had a hand in fulfilling roughly 100 orders. The math could get very complex where you could breakdown all of the figures on where all the money went; however, because I decided to make one sale by ordering something from the company, I funded a business I don't agree with. Companies have so much power because we decide to fund them. I know, this is not the most profound statement in the world. But the concept can be applied to many other businesses. The choices we make really do matter, as small as each choice might be.
