AN ECONOMIST BOOK OF THE YEAR 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? From Stone Age hunter-gatherers to contemporary
Chinese-American relations, Open explores how across time and
cultures, we have struggled with a constant tension between our
yearning for co-operation and our profound need for belonging.
Providing a bold new framework for understanding human history,
bestselling author and thinker Johan Norberg examines why we're
often uncomfortable with openness - but also why it is essential
for progress. Part sweeping history and part polemic, this urgent
book makes a compelling case for why an open world with an open
economy is worth fighting for more than ever.
