‪Geoffrey West: The surprising math of cities and corporations‬‏ - YouTube:

"Physicist Geoffrey West has found that simple, mathematical laws govern the properties of cities -- that wealth, crime rate, walking speed and many other aspects of a city can be deduced from a single number: the city's population. In this mind-bending talk from TEDGlobal he shows how it works and how similar laws hold for organisms and corporations."


I really can not decide where to put this one. I opted for FinanceProfessor since in class when we try to project out long term growth rates, students always try to say growth will be constant forever, this say otherwise.
