Readers’ Roundtable: "Superabundance"
Is our modern lifestyle sustainable? Does capitalism encourage the over-consumption of goods? What do economics and history teach us about the earth’s ability to handle an ever-growing human population? To shed light on these questions, join the Adam Smith Society on Monday, July 24, at 1:00 p.m. ET for a virtual discussion with Cato Institute senior fellow Marian Tupy on his new book, Superabundance: The Story of Population Growth, Innovation, and Human Flourishing on an Infinitely Bountiful Planet.
As an installment of our Readers’ Roundtable series, this will be a closed Zoom call with the author.
The Adam Smith Society Readers’ Roundtable is a virtual quarterly reading club that provides members an opportunity to dive deeper into some of today’s most insightful and influential works on free market ideas and public policy. Complimentary access to reading materials is guaranteed for supporting members of the Adam Smith Society.
