00:31Zoltan Acs- Why Philanthropy Matters: How the Wealthy Give..
Philanthropy has long been a distinctive feature of American culture, but its crucial role in the economic well-being of the nation--and the world--has remained largely unexplored. Why Philanthropy Matters takes an in-depth look at philanthropy as an underappreciated force in capitalism, measures its critical influence on the free-market system, and demonstrates how American philanthropy could serve as a model for the productive reinvestment of wealth in other countries. Factoring in philanthropic cycles that help balance the economy, Zoltan Acs offers a richer picture of capitalism, and a more accurate backdrop for considering policies that would promote the capitalist system for the good of all.
Zoltan J. Acs is University Professor at the School of Public Policy and Director of the Center for Entrepreneurship and Public Policy. He is coeditor and founder of Small Business Economics, the leading entrepreneurship and small business publication in the world. He is also a visiting profes¬sor at Imperial College Business School in London.

ExpressLanes - a "HOT" Topic! ACS Discusses “High Occupancy Toll” lanes
As our urban areas grow, traffic congestion grows, meaning drivers are not getting to their destination as fast as they would like.
New “ExpressLanes” allow drivers to enter free-moving car-pool (HOV) lanes for a toll. The ExpressLanes are designed to keep traffic moving at a minimum of 45 mph by taking advantage of dynamic pricing, which increases or decreases fares based on real-time traffic conditions.
