We are excited to announce our September book discussion featuring Edward Glaeser's Triumph of the City as part of our ongoing book series dedicated to exploring the ideas of Progress Studies.
Pathways to Progress aims to create a community of individuals committed to understanding and contributing to human prosperity. Through our discussions, we delve into technological and scientific innovation, historical examples of progress, the implications of economic growth on moral progress, and the relationship between technological advancement and societal change.
Our bi-weekly Zoom meetings focus on a selected book, culminating in a Q&A session with the author. We are proud to have hosted notable guests in our discussions in August, including an author Q&A with Tyler Cowen and a speaker event with Kurtis Lockhart, Executive Director at the Charter Cities Institute. Recordings of our speaker events are available on our YouTube channel.
