Who do corporations really work for? | Scott Tong | TEDxFoggyBottom

From printing money to creating community country clubs, corporations have historically provided many services to local societies and workers. But today, corporations often serve shareholders above all. In this talk, Marketplace correspondent Scott Tong chronicles the changing relationship between corporations and society. Scott Tong is a correspondent for Marketplace’s Sustainability desk, where his coverage focuses on energy, environment and the global economy. During twelve years on the staff, he has contributed in-depth reporting on Venezuela’s economic crisis, the long-term U.S. job market, energy-rich locations and the “resource curse,” the 2011 tsunami in Japan and 2011 famine in the Horn of Africa. He also served as Marketplace’s bureau chief in Shanghai. Prior to joining Marketplace, Tong worked as a producer and reporter for the PBS NewsHour and served as a Knight-Wallace journalism fellow at the University of Michigan. Tong is a graduate of Georgetown University and a native of Poughkeepsie, New York. His forthcoming book, A Village with My Name: A Family History of China’s Opening to the World, will be released in November 2017. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
