The Future Economy Kickoff gathering (plus discussion of "The Great Stagnation")
Details
A grand kick-off discussion to meet people who think about interactions between technology, science and the economy.
This week, we will discuss the first part of Tyler Cowen's "The Great Stagnation: How America Ate All The Low-Hanging Fruit of Modern History, Got Sick, and Will (Eventually) Feel Better."
You're welcome to suggest more blogs, books, or ideas to discuss, too! This group will meet every 1 or 2 weeks, depending on demand.
If you haven't read this book but are still interested in these topics, that's okay!
You can get the book on a Kindle or online here (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004H0M8QS/).

What is this group about?
How will technology and science sculpt the society and economy of the future?
How can we develop new ways of organizing human activity? What ideas really matter for understanding the future economy. What can researchers, entrepreneurs, policy designers, scientists, developers, and others do about them? If you've enjoyed reading works such as:
- Peter Thiel's "Zero to One"
- Tyler Cowen's "The Great Stagnation"
- the "RibbonFarm" blog
we can discuss a cluster of related ideas. Message me with any suggestions for events and discussion topics!
