TED Talk Response

Ferguson began this TED talk by introducing the count of “billions” which I thought was engaging. His points were concise, and clearly defined to fit the overarching theme of his talk. However, Ferguson exuded a bit of arrogance by saying “this is the best simplification I can offer you,” as that implies he believes the audience is relatively-feeble-minded compared to him. Overall, the information relayed in Ferguson’s talk was very intriguing and addressed a largely unattacked issue of prosperity fairly holistically.
