Joel Kotkin - The Next Hundred Million: America in 2050
Start: 7:30 pm
Colfax Avenue: Visionary social thinker Joel Kotkin will discuss and sign his new book The Next Hundred Million: America in 2050 ($25.95 Penguin), in which he looks ahead 40 years, revealing how the addition of one hundred million Americans by mid-century will transform how we all live, work, and prosper. Kotkin’s book provides a vivid snapshot of America in 2050 by focusing not on power brokers, policy disputes, or abstract trends, but rather on the evolution of the more intimate units of American society—families, towns, neighborhoods, industries. It is upon the success or failure of these communities, Kotkin argues, that the American future rests. Visit Joel Kotkin’s website. Request a signed copy: books@tatteredcover.com
