This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. At TEDxIUM, Professor Bassem Kamar talks about a different kind of return on investment. Finance and politics are areas where we find today’s biggest investments, but they often lead to small, if any, returns. The biggest new return on investment is the result of our small but collective social actions.Professor Bassem Kamar is currently a consultant with the International Monetary Fund, after spending five years as an economist with the IMF Institute for Capacity Development. Originally from Egypt, he is professor of Economics and Director of Research Dissemination at IUM. Additionally, he is the owner and General Manager of Global Economic and Finance Consulting, a company providing services to governments and international institutions such as the World Bank and the European Commission, among others. Mr. Kamar is the author of “Globalization and Exchange Rate Policies” and of numerous scientific articles.About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience.

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
