Kabbalah and economics
A very clear teaching that outlines the Chabad position on Kabbalah and Economics with relation to the current crisis.

I do agree with the above statement about the sexist jokes. I am male, but found them offensive and a distraction from the important message you gave. Climate change is one of those topics that does not need politicizing and given that in Bereishit Rabbah, G-d even warns mankind to not destroy the environment, you would think Chabad would go a little softly softly instead of giving lip service to views held by the likes of the Conservative American Media.

baruch shem kovod malchuso....
What a thrill it is to hear someone commenting on the decadent standards of remuneration this society....an actress works for 2 months on a movie and makes 20 million dollars, the ball-player mentioned in this talk. As a school teacher, I wont even see a movie in a theatre because that industry is so obscene (unless it's Star Trek!!!!). And then they're giving each other award after award. How many are there now? I am also gratified to hear what I have long suspected, the idea that it all had to come falling down because it was rotten to the core. Excellent talk.
