Why Great Civilizations Fail? with Johan Norberg

Join us for Objectively Speaking with Johan Norberg on Wednesday, December 3 @ 10 AM PT / 1 PM ET. What can we learn from history’s greatest civilizations? Returning for a third time to Objectively Speaking, Johan Norberg is no stranger to The Atlas Society, having joined us previously to discuss his books Open: The Story of Human Progress and The Capitalist Manifesto. He now joins CEO Jennifer Grossman to talk about his latest book Peak Human: What We Can Learn From History’s Greatest Civilizations, which which explores the rise and fall of past societies to uncover the ideas, institutions, and innovations that fueled their success—and the mistakes that led to their decline. Norberg is a Cato Senior Fellow and the author and editor of more than 20 books that focus on globalization, human progress, and intellectual history.
