In this video from a Libertarian International conference in Stockholm in 1986, Hess speaks about everything from his time as a speechwriter for Barry Goldwater to Euclid, the impending collapse of global communism, children’s education in America, the dawn of the personal computer (which he refers to as a “microcomputer”), new management styles in business (he somewhat accurately predicts the way Google treats its employees based on Cray Supercomputers’ management style at the time), and several other fascinating topics. Hess also fields audience questions for about half an hour.
