A lei como a maior conquista da humanidade | Daniel John | TEDxKings College School

A palestra apresenta a lei como uma das realizações mais significativas da humanidade: os arranjos que permitem a milhões de desconhecidos cooperar todos os dias sem precisar confiar pessoalmente uns nos outros. O orador analisa como esses arranjos funcionam, quanto custa mantê-los e o que acontece quando a confiança neles se perde. Daniel John é aluno do year 11 na King's College School, em Wimbledon. A palestra foi apresentada em um evento TEDx organizado de forma independente por uma comunidade local.

• Arranjos jurídicos que possibilitam a cooperação entre desconhecidos

Daniel argues that the arrangements allowing millions of strangers to cooperate every day, without knowing or needing to trust one another personally, are among the most significant things human beings have built. He considers how those arrangements work, what they cost to maintain, and what follows when confidence in them is lost.

He is passionate about public speaking and enjoys debating, particularly around political and economic ideas.
