00:13
You probably don't know me,
0
13391
2279
Vjerojatno me ne poznajete
00:15
but I am one of those .01 percenters
1
15670
3344
Ali ja sam jedan od onih 0.1 posto
00:19
that you hear about and read about,
2
19014
1943
o kojima slušate i čitate,
00:20
and I am by any reasonable definition a plutocrat.
3
20957
4065
i ja sam po bilo kojoj razumnoj definiciji plutokrat.
00:25
And tonight, what I would like to do is speak directly
4
25022
3090
A večeras, ono što bih volio je da se obratim izravno
00:28
to other plutocrats, to my people,
5
28112
2306
drugim plutokratima, mojim ljudima,
00:30
because it feels like it's time for us all
6
30418
2811
jer osjećaj je da je vrijeme za sve nas
00:33
to have a chat.
7
33229
2076
da porazgovaramo
00:35
Like most plutocrats, I too am a proud
8
35305
2578
Kao većina plutokrata, i ja sam ponosan
00:37
and unapologetic capitalist.
9
37883
2343
i bezobziran kapitalist
00:40
I have founded, cofounded or funded
10
40226
3537
Osnovao sam ili sam sudjelovao u osnivanju ili financirao
00:43
over 30 companies across a range of industries.
11
43763
3530
više od 30 kompanija u širokom rasponu djelatnosti.
00:47
I was the first non-family investor in Amazon.com.
12
47293
3595
Bio sam prvi neobiteljski ulagač u Amazon.com.
00:50
I cofounded a company called aQuantive
13
50888
2721
Sudjelovao sam u osnivanju kompanije aQuantive
00:53
that we sold to Microsoft for 6.4 billion dollars.
14
53609
3870
koju smo prodali Microsoftu za 6,4 milijarde dolara.
00:57
My friends and I, we own a bank.
15
57479
2548
Moji prijatelji i ja, mi posjedujemo banku
01:00
I tell you this — (Laughter) —
16
60027
2896
Govorim vam to — (Smijeh) —
01:02
unbelievable, right?
17
62923
1247
nevjerojatno, jelda?
01:04
I tell you this to show
18
64170
3210
Govorim vam to kako bih pokazao
01:07
that my life is like most plutocrats.
19
67380
2763
da je moj život nalik većine plutokrata
01:10
I have a broad perspective on capitalism
20
70143
3307
Imam širok pregled kapitalizma
01:13
and business,
21
73450
1800
i poslovnog svijeta,
01:15
and I have been rewarded obscenely for that
22
75250
3790
i bio sam bestidno nagrađen za to
01:19
with a life that most of you all
23
79040
2157
životom koji većina vas
01:21
can't even imagine:
24
81197
2259
ne može niti zamisliti:
01:23
multiple homes, a yacht, my own plane,
25
83456
2701
više kuća, jahtom, svojim vlastitim avionom,
01:26
etc., etc., etc.
26
86157
4127
itd., itd., itd.
01:30
But let's be honest: I am not the smartest person you've ever met.
27
90284
3262
Ali budimo iskreni: ja nisam najpametnija osoba koju ste ikad sreli
01:33
I am certainly not the hardest working.
28
93546
2404
Sigurno nisam najmarljivija.
01:35
I was a mediocre student.
29
95950
1973
Bio sam prosječan student.
01:37
I'm not technical at all.
30
97923
1218
Nisam u tehnici niti malo.
01:39
I can't write a word of code.
31
99141
2498
Ne mogu napisati riječ koda.
01:41
Truly, my success is the consequence
32
101639
3133
Zbilja, moj je uspjeh poslijedica
01:44
of spectacular luck,
33
104772
2448
spektakularne sreće,
01:47
of birth, of circumstance and of timing.
34
107220
4904
u rođenju, u okolnostima i u tajmingu.
01:52
But I am actually pretty good at a couple of things.
35
112124
4495
Ali jesam zaista vrlo dobar u nekoliko stvari.
01:56
One, I have an unusually high tolerance for risk,
36
116619
4644
Prvo, imam neobičnu visoku trpeljivost na rizik,
02:01
and the other is I have a good sense,
37
121263
2415
a druga je što imam dobar osjećaj,
02:03
a good intuition about what will happen in the future,
38
123678
2625
dobru intuiciju o tome što će se desiti u budućnosti,
02:06
and I think that that intuition about the future
39
126303
3283
a mislim da je ta intuicija o budućnosti
02:09
is the essence of good entrepreneurship.
40
129586
3570
srž dobrog poduzetništva.
02:13
So what do I see in our future today,
41
133156
2518
Pa što to vidim u našoj budućnosti danas,
02:15
you ask?
42
135674
2002
pitate me?
02:17
I see pitchforks,
43
137676
1655
Vidim vile,
02:19
as in angry mobs with pitchforks,
44
139331
4790
kao u gnjevnoj gomili s vilama,
02:24
because while people like us plutocrats
45
144121
5214
jer dok ljudi poput nas plutokrata
02:29
are living beyond the dreams of avarice,
46
149335
3531
žive onkraj snova o pohlepi,
02:32
the other 99 percent of our fellow citizens
47
152866
2913
ostalih 99 posto naših kolega građana
02:35
are falling farther and farther behind.
48
155779
2813
ostaje sve dalje i dalje za nama.
02:38
In 1980, the top one percent of Americans
49
158592
2488
1980, gornjih 1% Amerikanaca
02:41
shared about eight percent of national [income],
50
161080
2478
je dijelio oko 8% nacionalnog [dohotka],
02:43
while the bottom 50 percent of Americans
51
163558
2674
dok je donjih 50% Amerikanaca
02:46
shared 18 percent.
52
166232
2543
dijelilo 18%.
02:48
Thirty years later, today, the top one percent
53
168775
3352
Trideset godina kasnije, danas, gornjih 1%
02:52
shares over 20 percent of national [income],
54
172127
3622
dijeli preko 20% nacionalnog [dohotka],
02:55
while the bottom 50 percent of Americans
55
175749
1901
Dok donjih 50% Amerikanaca
02:57
share 12 or 13.
56
177650
2914
Dijeli 12% ili 13%.
03:00
If the trend continues,
57
180564
2446
Ako se trend nastavi,
03:03
the top one percent will share
58
183010
1480
Gornjih 1% će dijeliti
03:04
over 30 percent of national [income]
59
184490
2306
preko 30% nacionalnog [dohotka]
03:06
in another 30 years,
60
186796
1792
u slijedećih 30 godina,
03:08
while the bottom 50 percent of Americans
61
188588
2280
dok će donjih 50% Amerikanaca
03:10
will share just six.
62
190868
1739
dijeliti samo 6%.
03:12
You see, the problem isn't that we have
63
192607
1996
Vidite, problem nije da imamo
03:14
some inequality.
64
194603
2081
nekakvu nejednakost.
03:16
Some inequality is necessary
65
196684
2452
Nekakva je nejednakost potrebna
03:19
for a high-functioning capitalist democracy.
66
199136
3294
za visoko funkcionirajuću kapitalističku demokraciju.
03:22
The problem is that inequality
67
202430
1710
Problem je što je nejednakost
03:24
is at historic highs today
68
204140
3362
danas na povijesnoj razini
03:27
and it's getting worse every day.
69
207502
3419
a postaje sve gora svaki dan.
03:30
And if wealth, power, and income
70
210921
2624
A ako se bogatstvo, moć, i dohodak
03:33
continue to concentrate
71
213545
1835
nastave koncentrirati
03:35
at the very tippy top,
72
215380
2301
na samom vrhu,
03:37
our society will change
73
217681
1848
naše će se društvo promijeniti
03:39
from a capitalist democracy
74
219529
1733
iz kapitalističke demokracije
03:41
to a neo-feudalist rentier society
75
221262
3772
u neofeudalno društvo zakupaca
03:45
like 18th-century France.
76
225034
1985
nalik Francuskoj 18. stoljeća.
03:47
That was France
77
227019
3194
To je Francuska
03:50
before the revolution
78
230213
1747
prije revolucije
03:51
and the mobs with the pitchforks.
79
231960
2024
i gnjevne gomile s vilama.
03:53
So I have a message for my fellow plutocrats
80
233984
2554
Tako da imam poruku za kolege plutokrate
03:56
and zillionaires
81
236538
1822
i zilijunere
03:58
and for anyone who lives
82
238360
1474
i za svakog koji živi
03:59
in a gated bubble world:
83
239834
2236
u ograđenom mjehuru:
04:02
Wake up.
84
242070
1351
Probudite se.
04:03
Wake up. It cannot last.
85
243421
3720
Probudite se. Ovo ne može potrajati.
04:07
Because if we do not do something
86
247141
2019
Jer ako ne učinimo nešto
04:09
to fix the glaring economic inequities in our society,
87
249160
4331
da popravimo bliješteće ekonomske nejednakosti u našem društvu,
04:13
the pitchforks will come for us,
88
253491
2745
vile će doći po nas,
04:16
for no free and open society can long sustain
89
256236
3948
jer nijedno slobodno i otvoreno društvo ne može dugo izdržati
04:20
this kind of rising economic inequality.
90
260184
3004
ovu vrstu rastuće ekonomske nejednakosti.
04:23
It has never happened. There are no examples.
91
263188
2922
Nikad se nije desilo. Nema nikakvih primjera.
04:26
You show me a highly unequal society,
92
266110
1859
Pokažite mi visoko nejednako društvo,
04:27
and I will show you a police state
93
267969
1479
i ja ću vam pokazati policijsku državu
04:29
or an uprising.
94
269448
1767
ili ustanak.
04:31
The pitchforks will come for us
95
271215
2143
Vile će doći po nas
04:33
if we do not address this.
96
273358
1911
ako to ne riješimo.
04:35
It's not a matter of if, it's when.
97
275269
3848
Nije stvar hoće li, nego kada će.
04:39
And it will be terrible when they come
98
279117
3633
A bit će strašno kada dođu
04:42
for everyone,
99
282750
1451
za sve,
04:44
but particularly for people like us plutocrats.
100
284201
4984
ali posebno za ljude poput nas plutokrata.
04:49
I know I must sound like some liberal do-gooder.
101
289185
3420
Znam da moram zvučati kao neki liberalni dobrica.
04:52
I'm not. I'm not making a moral argument
102
292605
2250
Nisam. Ne zastupam moralni stav
04:54
that economic inequality is wrong.
103
294855
3262
da je ekonomska nejednakost nešto krivo.
04:58
What I am arguing is that rising economic inequality
104
298117
4286
Tvrdim da je podizanje ekonomske nejednakosti
05:02
is stupid and ultimately self-defeating.
105
302403
3521
glupo i u konačnici samoporažavajuće.
05:05
Rising inequality doesn't just increase our risks
106
305924
3228
Podizanje ekonomske nejednakosti ne samo da podiže rizik
05:09
from pitchforks,
107
309152
1868
od vila,
05:11
but it's also terrible for business too.
108
311020
4567
nego je također i strašno za posao.
05:15
So the model for us rich guys should be Henry Ford.
109
315587
3870
Pa bi model za nas bogatu ekipu trebao biti Henry Ford.
05:19
When Ford famously introduced the $5 day,
110
319457
3813
Kad je Ford slavno uveo dan od 5 dolara,
05:23
which was twice the prevailing wage at the time,
111
323270
2947
što je bilo duplo od prevladavajuće plaće u to doba,
05:26
he didn't just increase the productivity
112
326217
2070
nije samo povećao proizvodnost
05:28
of his factories,
113
328287
1969
svojih tvornica,
05:30
he converted exploited autoworkers who were poor
114
330256
3397
pretvorio je izrabljene radnike koji su bili siromašni
05:33
into a thriving middle class who could now afford
115
333653
2700
u cvatuću srednju klasu koja si je tada mogla priuštiti
05:36
to buy the products that they made.
116
336353
3217
da kupi proizvode koje su napravili.
05:39
Ford intuited what we now know is true,
117
339570
4290
Ford je intuitivno osjećao ono što sada znamo da je istina
05:43
that an economy is best understood as an ecosystem
118
343860
4001
Da je ekonomiju najbolje shvatiti kao ekosustav
05:47
and characterized by the same kinds
119
347861
1919
koji se odlikuje istim vrstama
05:49
of feedback loops you find
120
349780
2560
petlji povratnih sprega koje nalazite
05:52
in a natural ecosystem,
121
352340
1740
u prirodnom ekosustavu,
05:54
a feedback loop between customers and businesses.
122
354080
3938
petlje povratnih sprega između kupaca i poslova.
05:58
Raising wages increases demand,
123
358018
3106
Podizanje plaća povećava potražnju,
06:01
which increases hiring,
124
361124
2081
koja povećava zapošljavanje,
06:03
which in turn increases wages
125
363205
2081
koje potom opet povećava plaće
06:05
and demand and profits,
126
365286
2630
i potražnju i prihode,
06:07
and that virtuous cycle of increasing prosperity
127
367916
4844
a taj vrli krug povećanja blagostanja
06:12
is precisely what is missing
128
372760
2149
je točno ono što nedostaje
06:14
from today's economic recovery.
129
374909
4995
iz današnjeg ekonomskog oporavka.
06:19
And this is why we need to put behind us
130
379904
4618
I to je zašto moramo ostaviti iza sebe
06:24
the trickle-down policies that so dominate
131
384522
3708
politike slijevanja odozgo koje toliko gospodare
06:28
both political parties
132
388230
1797
u obje političke stranke
06:30
and embrace something I call middle-out economics.
133
390027
3405
i prigrliti nešto što nazivam srednje-van ekonomijom.
06:33
Middle-out economics rejects
134
393432
2535
Srednje-van ekonomija odbacuje
06:35
the neoclassical economic idea
135
395967
2317
neoklasičnu ekonomsku ideju
06:38
that economies are efficient, linear, mechanistic,
136
398284
4197
da su ekonomije učinkovite, linearne, mehanicističke,
06:42
that they tend towards equilibrium and fairness,
137
402481
3127
da teže ka ravnoteži i poštenju,
06:45
and instead embraces the 21st-century idea
138
405608
3438
i umjesto njih prihvaća ideju iz 21 stoljeća
06:49
that economies are complex, adaptive,
139
409046
3774
da su ekonomije složene, prilagodljive,
06:52
ecosystemic,
140
412820
2002
ekosistemske,
06:54
that they tend away from equilibrium and toward inequality,
141
414822
3348
da teže od ravnoteže i ka nejednakosti,
06:58
that they're not efficient at all
142
418170
1750
da uopće nisu učinkovite
06:59
but are effective if well managed.
143
419920
3285
ali su djelotvorne ako se njima upravlja dobro.
07:03
This 21st-century perspective
144
423205
3271
Ovaj vidik iz 21. stoljeća
07:06
allows you to clearly see that capitalism
145
426476
2664
omogućuje vam da jasno vidite kako kapitalizam
07:09
does not work by [efficiently] allocating
146
429140
3287
ne radi [uspješno] raspodjeljujući
07:12
existing resources.
147
432427
2440
postojeće resurse.
07:14
It works by [efficiently] creating new solutions
148
434867
5998
Radi [uspješno] stvarajući nova rješenja
07:20
to human problems.
149
440865
1255
ljudskim problemima.
07:22
The genius of capitalism
150
442120
2209
Genij kapitalizma
07:24
is that it is an evolutionary solution-finding system.
151
444329
4882
je da je on evolucionarni sustav za nalaženje rješenja
07:29
It rewards people for solving other people's problems.
152
449211
5951
Nagrađuje ljude za rješavanje problema drugih ljudi
07:35
The difference between a poor society
153

Razlika između siromašnog društva
07:38
and a rich society, obviously,
154
458109
2317
i bogatog društva, očito,
07:40
is the degree to which that society
155
460426
2938
je stupanj do kojeg je to društvo
07:43
has generated solutions in the form
156
463364
1933
stvorilo rješenja u obliku
07:45
of products for its citizens.
157
465297
2859
proizvoda za svoje građane.
07:48
The sum of the solutions
158
468156
1821
Zbroj rješenja
07:49
that we have in our society
159
469977
1991
koje imamo u svojem društvu
07:51
really is our prosperity, and this explains
160
471968
2374
je naše stvarno blagostanje, i to objašnjava
07:54
why companies like Google and Amazon
161
474342
2283
zašto su kompanije poput Googla i Amazona
07:56
and Microsoft and Apple
162
476625
2363
i Microsofta i Applea
07:58
and the entrepreneurs who created those companies
163
478988
2902
i poduzetnici koji su stvorili te kompanije
08:01
have contributed so much
164
481890
3560
toliko doprinijeli
08:05
to our nation's prosperity.
165
485450
2706
blagostanju naše nacije.
08:08
This 21st-century perspective
166
488156
2800
Ova perspektiva 21-og stoljeća
08:10
also makes clear
167
490956
2589
također jasno pokazuje
08:13
that what we think of as economic growth
168
493545
2445
da ono o čemu razmišljamo kao o ekonomskom rastu
08:15
is best understood as
169
495990
1947
je najbolje razumjeti kao
08:17
the rate at which we solve problems.
170
497937
2494
brzinu kojom rješavamo probleme
08:20
But that rate is totally dependent upon
171
500431
3418
Ali ta je brzina posve ovisna o tome
08:23
how many problem solvers —
172
503849
3577
koliko rješavatelja problema —
08:27
diverse, able problem solvers — we have,
173
507426
2486
različitih, sposobnih rješavatelja problema — imamo,
08:29
and thus how many of our fellow citizens
174
509912
2733
a time koliko naših kolega građana
08:32
actively participate,
175
512645
2225
aktivno sudjeluje,
08:34
both as entrepreneurs who can offer solutions,
176
514870
3650
jednako kao poduzetnici koji mogu ponuditi rješenja
08:38
and as customers who consume them.
177
518520
3642
i kao kupci koji ih koriste.
08:42
But this maximizing participation thing
178
522162
4118
Ali ta stvar sa maksimizacijom sudjelovanja
08:46
doesn't happen by accident.
179
526280
1619
se ne događa slučajno.
08:47
It doesn't happen by itself.
180
527899
1969
Ne događa se sama od sebe.
08:49
It requires effort and investment,
181
529868
3729
Zahtjeva trud i ulaganje,
08:53
which is why all
182
533597
2430
što je zašto su sve
08:56
highly prosperous capitalist democracies
183
536027
3231
vrlo imućne kapitalističke demokracije
08:59
are characterized by massive investments
184
539258
2549
karakterizirane velikim ulaganjima
09:01
in the middle class and the infrastructure
185
541807
2565
u srednji sloj i infrastrukturu
09:04
that they depend on.
186
544372
2868
o kojoj ovise.
09:07
We plutocrats need to get this
187
547240
1999
Mi plutokrati moramo ostaviti tu
09:09
trickle-down economics thing behind us,
188
549239
3139
stvar sa ekonomijom 'slijevanja odozgo' iza sebe,
09:12
this idea that the better we do,
189
552378
1906
tu ideju da što bolje ide nama,
09:14
the better everyone else will do.
190
554284
2667
to će bolje ići svima.
09:16
It's not true. How could it be?
191
556951
3920
To nije istina. Kako bi moglo biti?
09:20
I earn 1,000 times the median wage,
192
560871
4128
Zarađujem 1000 puta prosječnu plaću,
09:24
but I do not buy 1,000 times as much stuff,
193
564999
2925
ali ne kupujem 1000 puta toliko stvari,
09:27
do I?
194
567924
1064
kupujem li?
09:28
I actually bought two pairs of these pants,
195
568988
3188
Zapravo sam kupio dva para ovih hlača,
09:32
what my partner Mike calls
196
572176
1934
koje moj partner Mike zove
09:34
my manager pants.
197
574110
1515
moje menadžerske hlače.
09:35
I could have bought 2,000 pairs,
198
575625
2936
Mogao sam kupiti 2000 pari,
09:38
but what would I do with them? (Laughter)
199
578561
3066
ali što bih radio s njima? (Smijeh)
09:41
How many haircuts can I get?
200
581627
3029
Koliko puta se mogu šišati?
09:44
How often can I go out to dinner?
201
584656
3705
Koliko često mogu izaći na večeru?
09:48
No matter how wealthy a few plutocrats get,
202
588361
4073
Bez obzira koliko bogato par plutokrata može postati,
09:52
we can never drive a great national economy.
203
592434
3544
nikad ne možemo pokretati veliku državnu ekonomiju.
09:55
Only a thriving middle class can do that.
204
595978
5693
Jedino uspješan srednji sloj to može.
10:01
There's nothing to be done,
205
601671
1697
Ništa se ne može učiniti,
10:03
my plutocrat friends might say.
206
603368
4141
moji plutokratski prijatelji bi mogli reći.
10:07
Henry Ford was in a different time.
207
607509
3204
Henry Ford je bio u drugačije vrijeme.
10:10
Maybe we can't do some things.
208
610713
2274
Možda ne možemo učiniti neke stvari.
10:12
Maybe we can do some things.
209
612987
2936
Možda možemo učiniti neke stvari.
10:15

Bloomberg published an article I wrote called
211
619784
3433
Bloomberg objavljuje članak koji sam napisao, naslova
10:23
"The Capitalist’s Case for a $15 Minimum Wage."
212
623217
4933
"Kapitalistovo potraživanje minimalne plaće od 15$"
10:28
The good people at Forbes magazine,
213
628150
2922
Dobri ljudi u časopisu Forbes,
10:31
among my biggest admirers,
214
631072
2198
među mojim većim obožavateljima,
10:33
called it "Nick Hanauer's near-insane proposal."
215
633270
4720
nazvali su ga: "Nick Hanauerov gotovo sumanuti prijedlog"
10:37
And yet, just 350 days
216
637990
3229
Pa ipak, samo 350 dana
10:41
after that article was published,
217
641219
2576
nakon što je članak objavljen,
10:43
Seattle's Mayor Ed Murray signed into law
218
643795
2949
gradonačelnik Seattle-a Ed Murray je potpisao
10:46
an ordinance raising the minimum wage in Seattle
219
646744
3766
kao zakon odredbu koja povećava minimalnu plaću u Seattle-u
10:50
to 15 dollars an hour,
220
650510
1688
na 15 dolara po satu,
10:52
more than double
221
652198
1440
više nego dvostruko
10:53
what the prevailing federal $7.25 rate is.
222
653638
4692
od federalno prevladavajuće stope od 7,25$
10:58
How did this happen,
223
658330
1780
Kako se to dogodilo,
11:00
reasonable people might ask.
224
660110
2085
razumni se ljudi mogu zapitati.
11:02
It happened because a group of us
225
662195
1668
Dogodilo se jer je grupa nas
11:03
reminded the middle class
226
663863
1364
podsjetila srednji sloj
11:05
that they are the source
227
665227
1651
da su oni izvor
11:06
of growth and prosperity in capitalist economies.
228
666878
3666
rasta i blagostanja u kapitalističkim ekonomijama
11:10
We reminded them that when workers have more money,
229
670544
3566
Podsjetili smo ih kako kad radnici imaju više novca,
11:14
businesses have more customers,
230
674110
1712
poslovi imaju više kupaca,
11:15
and need more employees.
231
675822
1982
i trebaju više djelatnika.
11:17
We reminded them that when businesses
232
677804
2686
Podsjetili smo ih da kad poslovi
11:20
pay workers a living wage,
233
680490
2720
plaćaju radnicima dobru plaću,
11:23
taxpayers are relieved of the burden
234
683210
1892
porezni su obveznici rasterećeni
11:25
of funding the poverty programs
235
685102
1710
od plaćanja programa za siromašne
11:26
like food stamps and medical assistance
236
686812
2902
poput bonova za hranu i medicinske pomoći
11:29
and rent assistance
237
689714
1710
i stambene pomoći
11:31
that those workers need.
238
691424
2396
koju ti radnici trebaju.
11:33
We reminded them that low-wage workers
239
693820
2964
Podsjetili smo ih da slabo plaćeni radnici
11:36
make terrible taxpayers,
240
696784
2326
čine užasne porezne platiše,
11:39
and that when you raise the minimum wage
241
699110
2018
i da kad povećate minimalnu plaću
11:41
for all businesses,
242
701128
2125
za sve poslove,
11:43
all businesses benefit
243
703253
1667
svi poslovi se okoriste
11:44
yet all can compete.
244
704920
2731
a ipak se svi mogu natjecati.
11:47
Now the orthodox reaction, of course,
245
707651
1721
Sad ortodoksna reakcija, naravno
11:49
is raising the minimum wage costs jobs. Right?
246
709372
3803
je kako povećanje minimalca košta. Jel tako?
11:53
Your politician's always echoing
247
713175
2588
Vaši političari uvijek ponavljaju
11:55
that trickle-down idea by saying things like,
248
715763
3092
tu ideju slijevanja odozgo govoreći stvari poput
11:58
"Well, if you raise the price of employment,
249
718855
2093
"Pa, ako povećate cijenu uposlenja,
12:00
guess what happens? You get less of it."
250
720948
2792
pogodite što se dogodi? Dobijete ga manje."
12:03
Are you sure?
251
723740
2430
Jeste li sigurni?
12:06
Because there's some contravening evidence.
252
726170
3653
Jer postoje dokazi za obrnuto.
12:09
Since 1980, the wages of CEOs in our country
253
729823
4759
Od 1980, direktorske plaće u ovoj zemlji
12:14
have gone from about 30 times the median wage
254
734582
2268
su otišle od veličine oko 30 prosjećnih plaća
12:16
to 500 times.
255
736850
2272
do veličine 500 .
12:19
That's raising the price of employment.
256
739122
3168
To je povećanje cijene uposlenja.
12:22
And yet, to my knowledge,
257
742290
2972
Pa ipak, koliko mi je poznato,
12:25
I have never seen a company
258
745262
2172
nikad nisam vidio da je kompanija
12:27
outsource its CEO's job, automate their job,
259
747434
3746
izmjestila posao direktora, automatizirala ga,
12:31
export the job to China.
260
751180
2087
izvezla posao u Kinu.
12:33
In fact, we appear to be employing
261
753267
2026
Zapravo, izgleda da upošljavamo
12:35
more CEOs and senior managers than ever before.
262
755293
3222
više direktora i starijih poslovođa nego ikad prije
12:38
So too for technology workers
263
758515
4190
Također i za tehnologe
12:42
and financial services workers,
264
762705
1826
i djelatnike u financijskim uslugama,
12:44
who earn multiples of the median wage
265
764531
2618
koji zarađuju višestruke prosječne plaće
12:47
and yet we employ more and more of them,
266
767149
2005
pa ih ipak zapošljavamo sve više i više,
12:49
so clearly you can raise the price of employment
267
769154
4896
tako da je jasno da se može povećati cijenu uposlenja
12:54
and get more of it.
268
774050
2041
i dobiti ga više.
12:56
I know that most people
269
776091
2584
Znam da većina ljudi
12:58
think that the $15 minimum wage
270
778675
1722
misli da je minimalna plaća od 15$
13:00
is this insane, risky economic experiment.
271
780397
3915
lud, riskantan ekonomski pokus.
13:04
We disagree.
272
784312
1898
Ne slažemo se s time.
13:06
We believe that the $15 minimum wage
273
786210
2474
Vjerujemo da je minimalna plaća od 15$
13:08
in Seattle
274
788684
1266
u Seattleu
13:09
is actually the continuation
275
789950
1853
zapravo nastavak
13:11
of a logical economic policy.
276
791803
2708
logične ekonomske politike.
13:14
It is allowing our city
277
794511
1960
Ona omogućuje našem gradu
13:16
to kick your city's ass.
278
796471
2735
da razlupa vaš grad.
13:19
Because, you see,
279
799206
1759
Jer, vidite,
13:20
Washington state already has
280
800965
1712
država Washington već ima
13:22
the highest minimum wage
281
802677
1493
najvišu minimalnu plaću
13:24
of any state in the nation.
282
804170
1699
među svim zemljama naše nacije.
13:25
We pay all workers $9.32,
283
805869
2261
Plaćamo sve radnike 9,32$,
13:28
which is almost 30 percent more
284
808130
1843
Što je gotovo 30% više
13:29
than the federal minimum of 7.25,
285
809973
2558
od federalnog minimuma od 7,25$,
13:32
but crucially, 427 percent more
286
812531
3953
ali ključno, 427 posto više
13:36
than the federal tipped minimum of 2.13.
287
816484
3586
od najnižeg federalnog minimuma, 2,13$.
13:40
If trickle-down thinkers were right,
288
820070
2616
Kada bi odozgo slijevajući mislioci bili u pravu,
13:42
then Washington state should have massive unemployment.
289
822686
3112
država Washington bi morala imati ogromnu nezaposlenost.
13:45
Seattle should be sliding into the ocean.
290
825798
2680
Seattle bi trebao klizati u ocean.
13:48
And yet, Seattle
291
828478
3023
Pa ipak, Seattle
13:51
is the fastest-growing big city in the country.
292
831501
3898
je najbrže rastući veliki grad u zemlji.
13:55
Washington state is generating small business jobs
293
835399
4117
Država Washington stvara poslove u malim poduzećima
13:59
at a higher rate than any other major state
294
839516
2621
višom stopom od bilo koje velike države
14:02
in the nation.
295
842137
1856
u naciji.
14:03
The restaurant business in Seattle? Booming.
296
843993
3904
Restoranski posao u Seattlu? Vrije.
14:07
Why? Because the fundamental law of capitalism is,
297
847897
4388
Zašto? Jer temeljni je zakon kapitalizma,
14:12
when workers have more money,
298
852285
1615
kad radnici imaju više novca,
14:13
businesses have more customers
299
853900
1526
poslovi imaju više mušterija,
14:15
and need more workers.
300
855426
2257
i trebaju više radnika.
14:17
When restaurants pay restaurant workers enough
301
857683
3151
Kad restorani plaćaju radnike u restoranima dovoljno
14:20
so that even they can afford to eat in restaurants,
302
860834
3622
tako da čak i oni mogu jesti u restoranima,
14:24
that's not bad for the restaurant business.
303
864456
2665
to nije loše za restoranski posao.
14:27
That's good for it,
304
867121
1699
To je dobro za njega,
14:28
despite what some restaurateurs may tell you.
305
868820
4579
bez obzira što bi vam neki vlasnici restorana mogli reći.
14:33
Is it more complicated than I'm making out?
306
873399
2058
Je li to složenije od ovoga kako iznosim?
14:35
Of course it is.
307
875457
997
Naravno da jest.
14:36
There are a lot of dynamics at play.
308
876454
1868
Puno je dinamike u igri.
14:38
But can we please stop insisting
309
878322
2242
Ali možemo li molim prestati navaljivati
14:40
that if low-wage workers earn a little bit more,
310
880564
2801
da ako slabo plaćeni radnici dobiju malo više,
14:43
unemployment will skyrocket
311
883365
1508
nezaposlenost će uzletjeti do neba
14:44
and the economy will collapse?
312
884873
1328
a ekonomija se srušiti?
14:46
There is no evidence for it.
313
886201
2609
Nema dokaza za to.
14:48
The most insidious thing
314
888810
1231
Najpodmuklija stvar
14:50
about trickle-down economics
315
890041
1847
glede ekonomije slijevanja odozgo
14:51
is not the claim that if the rich get richer,
316
891888
2302
nije tvrdnja da ako bogati postaju bogatiji
14:54
everyone is better off.
317
894190
1537
je svima bolje.
14:55
It is the claim made by those who oppose
318
895727
3061
Nego tvrdnja koju iznose oni koji se suprotstavljaju
14:58
any increase in the minimum wage
319
898788
1902
bilo kakvom povećanju minimalne plaće
15:00
that if the poor get richer,
320
900690
1855
da ako siromašni postanu bogatiji,
15:02
that will be bad for the economy.
321
902545
2217
to će biti loše za ekonomiju.
15:04
This is nonsense.
322
904762
1980
To je besmislica.
15:06
So can we please dispense with this rhetoric
323
906742
3865
Pa možemo li molim prekinuti s tom retorikom
15:10
that says that rich guys like me
324
910607
2343
koja govori da su bogati momci poput mene
15:12
and my plutocrat friends
325
912950
2854
i mojih plutokratskih prijatelja
15:15
made our country?
326
915804
2573
napravili ovi zemlju?
15:18
We plutocrats know,
327
918377
2075
Mi plutokrati znamo,
15:20
even if we don't like to admit it in public,
328
920452
1624
čak i ako ne volimo to javno priznati,
15:22
that if we had been born somewhere else,
329
922076
2669
kako da smo se rodili negdje drugdje,
15:24
not here in the United States,
330
924745
1897
a ne ovdje u Sjedinjenim državama,
15:26
we might very well be just some dude standing barefoot
331
926642
2860
mogli bi isto tako biti neki bosonogi likovi koji stoje
15:29
by the side of a dirt road selling fruit.
332
929502
3150
pored prašnjave ceste i prodaju voće.
15:32
It's not that they don't have good entrepreneurs in other places,
333
932652
2531
Nije da nemaju dobre poduzetnike u drugim mjestima,
15:35
even very, very poor places.
334
935183
2025
čak i vrlo, vrlo siromašnim mjestima.
15:37
It's just that that's all
335
937208
1552
Jednostavno je stvar u tome da je to sve
15:38
that those entrepreneurs' customers can afford.
336
938760
4536
što si mušterije tog poduzetnika mogu priuštiti.
15:43
So here's an idea for a new kind of economics,
337
943296
4599
Pa evo ideje za novu vrstu ekonomije,
15:47
a new kind of politics
338
947895
1547
novu vrstu politike
15:49
that I call new capitalism.
339
949442
2887
koju zovem novi kapitalizam.
15:52
Let's acknowledge that capitalism
340
952329
2472
Priznajmo da kapitalizam
15:54
beats the alternatives,
341
954801
1797
nadmašuje alternativu,
15:56
but also that the more people we include,
342
956598
3997
ali također da što više ljudi uključimo,
16:00
both as entrepreneurs and as customers,
343
960595
3524
jednako kao poduzetnike ili mušterije,
16:04
the better it works.
344
964119
2160
stvar bolje radi.
16:06
Let's by all means shrink the size of government,
345
966279
3786
Smanjimo veličinu upravnog aparata, svakako,
16:10
but not by slashing the poverty programs,
346
970065
2719
ali ne križanjem programa za siromašne,
16:12
but by ensuring that workers are paid enough
347
972784
2017
već osiguravanjem da su radnici dovoljno plaćeni
16:14
so that they actually don't need those programs.
348
974801
3322
da im takvi programi zbilja niti ne trebaju.
16:18
Let's invest enough in the middle class
349
978123
2917
Uložimo dovoljno u srednji sloj
16:21
to make our economy fairer and more inclusive,
350
981040
3193
da učinimo našu ekonomiju poštenijom i više uključujućom,
16:24
and by fairer, more truly competitive,
351
984233
3934
a pod poštenijom, više zbiljski takmičarskom
16:28
and by more truly competitive,
352
988167
1762
a pod više zbiljski takmičarskom
16:29
more able to generate the solutions
353
989929
2816
sposobnijom da stvori rješenja
16:32
to human problems
354
992745
1472
ljudskim problemima
16:34
that are the true drivers of growth and prosperity.
355
994217
5630
koja su pravi upravljači rasta i blagostanja.
16:39
Capitalism is the greatest social technology
356
999847
3273
Kapitalizam je najveća društvena tehnologija
16:43
ever invented
357
1003120
1469
ikad izmišljena
16:44
for creating prosperity in human societies,
358
1004589
2862
za stvaranje blagostanja u ljudskim društvima,
16:47
if it is well managed,
359
1007451
1734
ako se njome dobro upravlja,
16:49
but capitalism, because of the fundamental
360
1009185
3171
ali kapitalizam, zbog temeljne
16:52
multiplicative dynamics of complex systems,
361
1012356
2765
višestrukosti dinamika u kompleksnim sustavima
16:55
tends towards, inexorably, inequality,
362
1015121
3528
teži ka, neumoljivo, nejednakosti,
16:58
concentration and collapse.
363
1018649
4421
zgušnjavanju i kolapsu.
17:03
The work of democracies
364
1023070
2448
Posao demokracija
17:05
is to maximize the inclusion of the many
365
1025518
4503
je da svedu na najveću mjeru uključenost mnogih
17:10
in order to create prosperity,
366
1030021
2977
da bi stvorile blagostanje,
17:12
not to enable the few to accumulate money.
367
1032998
3922
ne da omoguće nekolicini da nagomila novac.
17:16
Government does create prosperity and growth,
368
1036920
3100
Upravni aparat zbilja stvara blagostanje i rast,
17:20
by creating the conditions that allow
369
1040020
3226
stvarajući uvjete koji dopuštaju
17:23
both entrepreneurs and their customers
370
1043246
2891
jednako poduzetnicima i njihovim mušterijama
17:26
to thrive.
371
1046137
1845
da uspijevaju.
17:27
Balancing the power of capitalists like me
372
1047982
3184
Uravnoteženje moći kapitalista poput mene
17:31
and workers isn't bad for capitalism.
373
1051166
3172
i radnika nije loše za kapitalizam.
17:34
It's essential to it.
374
1054338
1800
To je sama njegova srž.
17:36
Programs like a reasonable minimum wage,
375
1056138
2666
Programi poput razumne minimalne plaće,
17:38
affordable healthcare,
376
1058804
2014
dostupne zdravstvene skrbi,
17:40
paid sick leave,
377
1060818
1303
plaćenog bolovanja,
17:42
and the progressive taxation necessary
378
1062121
3419
i progresivno oporezivanje nužno
17:45
to pay for the important infrastructure
379
1065540
2196
da platiza plaćanje važne infrastrukture
17:47
necessary for the middle class like education, R and D,
380
1067736
4051
nužne za srednji sloj poput obrazovanja, istraživanja i razvoja,
17:51
these are indispensable tools
381
1071787
2566
to su neophodna oruđa
17:54
shrewd capitalists should embrace
382
1074353
2109
koje bi lukav kapitalist trebao prigrliti
17:56
to drive growth, because no one benefits from it
383
1076462
3986
da pokrene rast, jer nikome ne koriste toliko
18:00
like us.
384
1080448
1646
koliko nama.
18:02
Many economists would have you believe
385
1082094
2248
Brojni ekonomisti bi vas uvjerili
18:04
that their field is an objective science.
386
1084342
3080
da je njihovo polje objektivna znanost.
18:07
I disagree, and I think that it is equally
387
1087422
2847
Ne slažem se, i mislim da je to jednako
18:10
a tool that humans use
388
1090269
2069
oruđe koje ljudi koriste
18:12
to enforce and encode
389
1092338
1889
da provedu i propišu
18:14
our social and moral preferences and prejudices
390
1094227
3576
naša društvena i moralna preimućstva i predrasude
18:17
about status and power,
391
1097803
3902
o statusu i moći,
18:21
which is why plutocrats like me
392
1101705
2277
što je zašto su plutokrati poput mene
18:23
have always needed to find persuasive stories
393
1103982
4006
uvijek morali iznalaziti uvjerljive priče
18:27
to tell everyone else
394
1107988
1674
koje mogu pričaju svima drugima
18:29
about why our relative positions
395
1109662
4114
o tome zašto su naše relativne pozicije
18:33
are morally righteous and good for everyone:
396
1113776
4132
moralno ispravne i dobre za sve:
18:37
like, we are indispensable, the job creators,
397
1117908
4275
kao, mi smo nezamjenjivi, stvaratelji poslova,
18:42
and you are not;
398
1122183
2362
a vi niste;
18:44
like, tax cuts for us create growth,
399
1124545
3386
kao, naše porezne olakšice stvaraju rast,
18:47
but investments in you
400
1127931
2014
ali ulaganje u vas
18:49
will balloon our debt
401
1129945
1676
će napumpati naš dug
18:51
and bankrupt our great country;
402
1131621
2508
i bankrotirati našu divnu zemlju;
18:54
that we matter;
403
1134129
1868
da smo mi od značaja;
18:55
that you don't.
404
1135997
2351
da vi niste.
18:58
For thousands of years, these stories were called
405
1138348
2643
Kroz tisuće godina, te su se priče zvale
19:00
divine right.
406
1140991
1448
božansko pravo.
19:02
Today, we have trickle-down economics.
407
1142439
4254
Danas, imamo odozgo slijevajuću ekonomiju.
19:06
How obviously, transparently self-serving
408
1146693
3883
Kako je očito, providno samoživo
19:10
all of this is.
409
1150576
1594
sve ovo.
19:12
We plutocrats need to see
410
1152170
2782
Mi plutokrati moramo vidjeti
19:14
that the United States of America made us,
411
1154952
2353
da su nas stvorile Sjedinjene Američke Države,
19:17
not the other way around;
412
1157305
1684
ne obrnuto;
19:18
that a thriving middle class is the source
413
1158989
2838
Da je uspješna srednja klasa izvor
19:21
of prosperity in capitalist economies,
414
1161827
2296
blagostanja u kapitalističkim ekonomijama,
19:24
not a consequence of it.
415
1164123
2639
ne njihova poslijedica.
19:26
And we should never forget
416
1166762
2691
I ne smijemo nikada zaboraviti
19:29
that even the best of us in the worst of circumstances
417
1169453
3695
da i najbolji među nama u najgorim okolnostima
19:33
are barefoot by the side of a dirt road selling fruit.
418
1173148
5734
stoje bosonogi pored ceste i prodaju voće.
19:38
Fellow plutocrats, I think it may be time for us
419
1178882
2614
Kolege plutokrati, mislim da je vrijeme za nas
Da se iznova posvetimo svojoj zemlji,
19:41
to recommit to our country,
420
1181496
2203
19:43
to commit to a new kind of capitalism
421
1183699
2562
da se posvetimo novoj vrsti kapitalizma
19:46
which is both more inclusive and more effective,
422
1186261
4354
koji je istovremeno uključiviji i djelotvorniji,
19:50
a capitalism that will ensure
423
1190615
2058
kapitalizam koji će osigurati
19:52
that America's economy remains
424
1192673
3161
da američka ekonomija ostane
19:55
the most dynamic and prosperous in the world.
425
1195834
3386
najdinamičnija i najimućnija na svijetu.
19:59
Let's secure the future for ourselves,
426
1199220
2160
Osigurajmo budućnost za sebe,
20:01
our children and their children.
427
1201380
2734
svoju djecu i njihovu djecu.
20:04
Or alternatively, we could do nothing,
428
1204114
3048
Ili alternativno, možemo ništa ne učiniti,
20:07
hide in our gated communities
429
1207162
2081
sakriti se u svoje ograđene zajednice
20:09
and private schools,
430
1209243
2857
i privatne škole,
20:12
enjoy our planes and yachts
431
1212100
2036
uživati u svojim avionima i jahtama
20:14
— they're fun —
432
1214136
2340
— one su zabavne —
20:16
and wait for the pitchforks.
433
1216476
1811
i čekati vile.
20:18
Thank you.
434
1218287
1523
Hvala.
20:19
