Which country does the most good for the world?
If you have a few minutes to spare to hear the answer to this question, listen to this TED talk.
It's by Simon Anholt, a 'policy advisor'.
In the notes under the 'about the talk' heading, it says:
It's an unexpected side effect of globalization: problems that once would have stayed local—say, a bank lending out too much money—now have consequences worldwide.
But still, countries operate independently, as if alone on the planet. Policy advisor Simon Anholt has dreamed up an unusual scale to get governments thinking outwardly: The Good Country Index.
In a riveting and funny talk, he answers the question, "Which country does the most good?" The answer may surprise you (especially if you live in the US or China).
