Big Think is a global forum connecting people and ideas. It may be a cliché to say that knowledge is power, but that doesn’t make the statement any less true. We know that there are just 24 hours in a day, that you are bombarded with information, and that the bombardment will only escalate. We believe that not all information is equal. We believe that expertise is invaluable and should be shared. If you had a heart problem and could afford the counsel of the world’s leading cardiologists, you would seek their advice. If you owned a business and wanted to expand into China or Russia, you’d want to hear from people who had already done that. At Big Think, we put you in contact with the ideas of very smart people. We do not believe that experts have all the answers. On many subjects deep thinkers disagree. We do believe that we will all make better decisions in our personal and professional lives if our thinking is informed by expert opinion.

Paul Krugerman's Political Philosophy

[Music Playing] Do you have a political philosophy? Well I am a liberal, and in the proper sense of it. I believe in we are a brothers keepers, not in the sense of Communism but a wealthy civilized country has an obligation to take care of less fortunate and to provide a safety net for everybody. I believe in Democracy in the broad sense that we should be ever shared political vision. There was a time, I was very young when I flirted in with the conservatives and it is a phase that people go through it. Seem who could see that there were excesses in wealth then but it cannot last very long and the only thing I would say is I think I have become, I only know that of my politics have changed but I have become more political. When I was in my 20’s maybe, when I was in that 30’s, I could imagine that policy was really a matter of intelligent discussions between people and the best ideas will automatically prevail. And that is not the way it is, there are discussions among intelligent people but you have to do more than just being right is no where near enough. [Music Playing]
