Joel Kotkin: 'America in 2050'
The United States is growing at a record rate, with our population poised to hit 400 million by 2050. That means 100,000,000 more of us, using our highways, breathing our air, and stuffing our schools. But Joel Kotkin, an internationally recognized authority on global, economic, political, and social trends and author of The Next Hundred Million, sees the looming population boom as the strongest indicator of our countrys long-term economic strength, making us more diverse and more competitive than any nation on Earth. Kotkin argues that this unprecedented growth will change the face of America, turning suburbs into melting pots; renewing the American heartland; and re-emphasizing family and community ties, the bedrock of our future. Presented by Town Halls Center for Civic Life, with Elliott Bay Book Company. Series supported by the Otto Haas Charitable Trust.
