{"product_id":"9781786497185","title":"Open: The Story of Human Progress","description":"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?\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eFrom 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.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Atlantic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42869630173245,"sku":"9781786497185","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/0838\/9949\/files\/9781786497185_p0.jpg?v=1771563684","url":"https:\/\/www.tatteredcover.com\/products\/9781786497185","provider":"Tattered Cover","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
