Reviews for The Creative Society: How the Future Can be Won 2016
An engaging and highly readable synthesis of history, science and social science that places itself on par with the greatest interdisciplinary writing of recent years. If you enjoyed Steven Pinker's The Better Angels of Our Nature, Niall Ferguson's Civilization, Fukuyamas The Origins of Political Order or Matt Ridley's The Rational Optimist, then this book is for you.
