Why do we blame individuals for economic crises? - a podcast by TED and PRX

Sociologist Liene Ozolina examines how the 2008 global financial crisis decimated Latvia’s economy and why responsibility should not be shifted to the citizens who struggle the most in its aftermath. This talk was filmed at TEDxRiga. All TEDx events are organized independently by volunteers in the spirit of TED's mission of ideas worth spreading.
