by Jason Crawford · June 10, 2020 · 1 min read

In the second episode of The Torch of Progress, I talked to Tyler Cowen, “the godfather of progress studies”, to ask him about progress, stagnation, complacency, progress studies itself, and his experiences with Emergent Ventures and Fast Grants.

Upcoming events (all times Pacific):

• Patrick Collison: Wed, Jun 17, 5pm
• Max Roser: Wed, Jun 24, 10am
• Deirdre McCloskey: Thu, Jul 2, 10am

More coming soon, including Joel Mokyr and Anton Howes.
