How many people will have to courage to come on stage and declare: “I am a capitalist. I admire Capitalism”? It seems easy to judge such people as greedy or selfish – an oppressor of the poor, a big fish devouring those smaller and less fortunate. Yet are we certain this is an accurate vision of Captalism? Though Capitalism once made Banyong Pongpanich lose his ground, his bold faith in the system remains; he believes it can lead to a better quality of life, and history has proved that Captalism is capable of raising countries from impoverished conditions. Banyong seeks to identify factors which twisted ‘ideal Capitalism’ to ‘vicious Capitalism’, and how the system could lead to a better, more equal society. It is up to all of us to decide how our society will continue towards its future.
– Banyong graduated with the Bachelor of Economics from Chulalongkorn University, and Masters of Business Administration from Sasin Graduate Institute of Business Administration. – He is the Chairman of Executive Board at Kiatnakin Bank Public Company Limited.
“We believe passionately in the power of ideas to change attitudes, lives and, ultimately, the world.”

In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TED has created a program called TEDx. TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. Our event is called TEDxBangkok, where x = independently organized TED event. At our TEDxBangkok event, TEDTalks video and live speakers will combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events, including ours, are self-organized.
Learn more about TEDx at TEDx Talks.
