Johan Norberg's recent book Open: The Story of Human Success claims that humanity's embrace of openness is the key to our success. The freedom to explore and exchange - whether it's goods, ideas or people - has led to stunning achievements in science, technology and culture. As a result, we live at a time of unprecedented wealth and opportunity. So why are we so intent on ruining it?

Our own Madsen Pirie has described Open as an ‘instant classic’. So now he has enticed the best-selling Swedish author and broadcaster along to back up the claim that openness promotes, not division and conflict, but ideas, innovation and progress.

Join us for this one-on-one conversation about open societies, progress, prosperity, and why that's all worth fighting for.

Guests:
Dr Madsen Pirie, Adam Smith Institute (Host)
Johan Norberg, Author and Historian
