he spends half an hour saying nothing of any significance.
Trade is mutually beneficial, wow, big discovery.

"Nothing of any significance"!!???
In his talk, Yaron Brook discussed the basic moral and philosophic reason why capitalism is disliked by the public, he denounced the morality of self-sacrifice, he defends Ayn Rand's virtue of selfishness and insists that capitalism can only be defended on that basis. He traced the history of attitudes toward bankers and investors, who he praises as "moral heroes" for their productive capacity. He discussed, among other things, how government controls led to the financial crisis.
He also addressed a variety of fascinating issues in the q & a, including public education, anarcho-capitalism, privatization of money, the proper functions of government, how a free government is funded, and numerous others.
I think all of these issues are of the highest possible significance.
