Paul Saffo presents "The Creator Economy"

According to futurist (and Long Now board member) Paul Saffo, the 'new economy" anticipated in the late 01990s is arriving late and in utterly unexpected ways. Social media, maker culture, the proliferation of sensors, and even the 02008 market crash are merely local phenomena in a much larger shift. What unfolds in the next few years will determine the shape of the global economy for the next half-century and will force a profound rethink of economic theory.

Paul Saffo teaches forecasting at Stanford and Singularity University. Journalists rely on him for cruelly telling quotes about everything from the monthly disruptions in Silicon Valley to the yearly turmoils in the global economy.

Note on Tickets:

Members will be able to reserve one complimentary ticket for the Paul Saffo Seminar at the Cowell Theater, and will be able to purchase up to 3 additional tickets at 50% off the list price each.

We are changing the ticket structure for this talk due to anticipated demand (and the smaller venue size) as well as the increasing number of second tickets released on the night of a Seminar, resulting in empty seats and fewer members being able to attend the talks. Thank you for your understanding.

About the Series:
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.
