June 26th, 2007 Comments Off

Social entrepreneur Joe Madiath, founder and executive director of Gram Vikas, tells Global X what happened when, at age 11, he tried to unionize the workers who were employed by his very own father. Within two months, he was in boarding school!

You should also watch him as he describes how he sees the world in 2017. It’s all about human dignity.

Today’s podcast is half tech, half science. We’ll hear about some MIT researchers who are using scientific methods to help alleviate poverty. Then, a podcast exclusive interview about how science is, and isn’t, practiced in the Islamic world. Then, we’ll talk about the prospects of cyberwar: who can wage it, and why? And we’ll finish with a story about a new video game that’s getting bad reviews from British and Irish authorities. Have a great weekend!
