World on Fire

I am repost­ing this from Daniel O’Con­nor’s great blog, Catal­lax­is. Daniel’s site offers a sophis­to­cat­ed dis­cus­son of enlight­ened eco­nom­ic mod­els. And it is clear where his heart is. Thank you, Daniel.

This lat­est video from Sarah McLach­lan is a pow­er­ful way to think about issues of price and val­ue… specif­i­cal­ly, the very dif­fer­ent sub­jec­tive val­u­a­tions that can be asso­ci­at­ed with the very same objec­tive price. 

Sarah chose to spend near­ly all the mon­ey she would have used for a pro­fes­sion­al music video on a whole port­fo­lio of life-chang­ing goods for peo­ple in need of the fun­da­men­tals of a decent life.
