We're excited to announce our November book discussion featuring Deirdre McCloskey's The Bourgeois Virtues: Ethics for an Age of Commerce as part of our ongoing book series dedicated to exploring the ideas of Progress Studies.
Pathways to Progress is a community of individuals committed to understanding and contributing to human prosperity. Through our discussions, we examine technological and scientific innovation, economic development, and their role in advancing human prosperity.
Each month, we read selected book(s), followed by a Q&A event with the author. In October, we discussed J. Storrs Hall's Where's My Flying Car?, followed by a Q&A with Hall. Previous books include Tyler Cowen's Stubborn Attachments and Ed Glaeser's Triumph of the City. We also host speaker events with guests such as Jason Crawford, Matt Clancy, and Heidi Williams. Most speaker events are recorded and available on our YouTube channel.
