So I’ve mentioned Larry Lessig’s new ten-year project on corruption before. Now I just finished watching his inaugural “alpha” lecture on the topic and it was terrific. An hour long, but well worth it, both for a glimpse of Lessig’s cool, patchwork presentation style — I’d heard it was great but never actually seen Lessig-slides in action — and also for the framework he provides. He is an A+ presenter and an A++ thinker, and this is an A+++ subject.
