Or is a networked world best understood with the conceptual framework Adam Smith bequeathed us?
Speaker: Niall Ferguson is a Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford, and at the Center for European Studies, Harvard
Discussants:
- Harold James, Professor of History and International Affairs, and Claude and Lore Kelly Professor of European Studies, Princeton University;
- Orville Schell, Arthur Ross Director of the Center on US-China Relations, Asia Society;
- Peter Schwartz, Senior Vice President Strategic Planning, Salesforce, Inc.

Cookies do improve your experience. They function as the website’s short term memory; with each new click you make, cookies help the site identify you as the same person.
Imagine every time you add something to your cart and click away, it disappears. Or each time you load a new page on Facebook, you have to log in again. Without cookies, the online world we know today couldn’t exist. But that world relies on advertising, which gives three kinds of companies a strong incentive to track your online behavior.
> Brands want to sell products by serving you ads for things you’re likely to buy.
> Platforms and publishers — like Vox — want to make money by serving those ads when you’re on their site.
> And middlemen are in the business of ensuring the ads from the brands are delivered to the right people.
In this video, we explain how cookies work and what you should know about how they’re being used. And we get a little help from the man who invented them.
