Webcast #10: Fact-based view of why the world is getting better
Who should attend?
SAICA members and associates [CA(SA)/AGA(SA)/AT] and trainees and members of the public
Overview
Bad and Getting Worse?
Tell anyone that things are not “bad and getting worse” and they will be sure you simply don’t get it – not only the current situation, but way beyond that alone.
Ian will give you grounds for feeling positive, not based on an energetic motivational talk, but based on undeniable facts from technology, science, sociology, and the evolution of commerce. I will also explain, based purely on physiology and epistemology why the thrust of this talk probably surprises you.
Yes, it is a motivational talk, but it is motivation through verified facts alone.
