EVENT DETAILS |
A discussion of how technological progress has facilitated the transition from an industrial society to a knowledge society, and the fundamental shifts we must make to facilitate human progress.
CSNYC is pleased to present Albert Wenger, USV partner and author of
World After Capital, in a conversation with journalist and author Diane Brady
about our social, economic and technological future.
"Technological progress has shifted scarcity for humanity. When we were foragers, food was scarce. During the agrarian age, it was land. Following the industrial revolution, capital became scarce. With digital technologies scarcity is shifting once more.
We need to figure out how to live in a World After Capital in which the only scarcity is our attention."
