Harvard Business Professor on Religion and Democracy

Clay Christensen is a professor at harvard Business School and is well-respected TED speaker.  His books on "disruptive innovation" in the marketplace, formulates the idea that companies should not focus on customers' current needs, but instead invest time into innovation and technology to keep their company cutting edge. 

In this video, Mr Christensen talks about the role Religious freedom plays in a democratic society.  His explanation was prompted by a discussion he had with a Marxist economist from China.  

We must learn from those who live in a land without Religious Freedom.
