The TED story

JUST Capital is a new non-profit formed by Paul Tudor Jones, Deepak Chopra and others to create a more just economy. Paul is giving a TED talk Wednesday afternoon to introduce the JUST concept ("dare") and discuss the challenges of capitalism in today's society ("truth"). I'd love to talk to anyone interested in learning more about or getting involved with JUST.
