Carol Pineau aims to break the one-dimensional image of Africa that the global community has grown accustomed to. In this cutting-edge talk, we confront the investment horizon and consider how self-interest could be the key to opening big doors TEDArchive presents previously unpublished talks from TED conferences. Enjoy this unedited talk by Carol Pineau. Filmed at TEDGlobal 2007 NOTE: Comments are disabled on this video. We made this difficult decision for the TED Archive because we believe that a well-moderated conversation allows for better commentary from more people and more viewpoints. Studies show that aggressive and hateful comments silence other commenters and drive them away; unfortunately, YouTube's comment moderation tools are simply not up to the task of allowing us to monitor comments on so many videos at once. (We'd love to see this change, YouTube.) So for now, if you'd like to comment on this talk, please use Facebook, Twitter or G+ to discuss with your networks.
