About this Seminar:
Paul Romer is best known as the lead developer of New Growth Theory, which shows how societies can speed up the discovery and implementation of new technologiesessentially, ideas about how objects interact.
However, to address the big problems well face this centuryinsecurity, harm to the environment, and global povertynew technologies will not be enough. His current focus is on mechanisms that can speed up the discovery and implementation of new rulesideas about how people interact.
For his work on the economics of ideas, Paul was named one of Americas 25 most influential people by TIME magazine.
The Seminars About Long-term Thinking were started in 02003 to build a coherent, compelling body of ideas about long-term thinking, to help nudge civilization toward Long Now's goal of making long-term thinking automatic and common instead of difficult and rare. |
