Recommendation

Alibaba founder Jack Ma presents bold ideas about globalization, leadership, education and the future – alongside some overbroad generalizations about gender and age. Keeping with tradition of the Davos Meet the Leader series, Ma draws often from his personal experience. He recalls being rejected for a job at KFC and becoming teacher of the year at his university, as well as co-founding Alibaba with many of his students. getAbstract recommends this casual chat with a business magnate.

Take-Aways

  • Historically, tech revolutions triggered world wars. If technology spurs a third world war, it should be one where humanity unites against disease, pollution and poverty.
  • Globalization remains unstoppable. As technology disrupts and destabilizes the world, global trade can align cultures and prevent war.
  • Humans can’t compete with machine knowledge, so education must move away from imparting knowledge and instead teach soft skills, such as values, beliefs, independent thinking, collaboration, concern for others and introspection.
