This video discusses the phenomenon of overcoming plunder, inequality, and conflict through the transition from a zero-sum game economy to a positive-sum game economy. Now other people's gain is my gain. By providing support to many people, they contribute to innovation and increase the size of the market. More wealth means more research, more innovation, and more wealth coming back to you.

It's a neat video - thanks for sharing it! Maybe consider updating the OP with a brief summary? E.g. "it briefly introduces the importance of economic growth and innovation, and how greater global wealth will help spur greater innovation that ultimately helps all of us".

I'm posting it now because it's a pity that it wasn't uploaded...

fyi, I found this remark a bit cryptic -- it wasn't immediately obvious what you're referring to. (It made me wonder, e.g., whether someone obstructed a previous attempt to share the video.) Having clicked through, I now see that the video is 6 years old. So I guess you just mean something like, "The video is several years old, but I haven't seen it shared on this forum before. Sharing now since it still seems relevant and I personally found it highly motivating for supporting global development."
