Open: The Story of Human Progress
Johan Norberg in conversation with Shruti Rajagopalan
From the era of the hunter-gatherers to contemporary world relations, Johan Norberg’s Open: The Story of Human Progress takes us on a journey through time to analyse the key to human success. A stunning narration on the intrinsic human yearning for cooperation and profound need for belonging, Norberg presents a new framework of understanding history and dwells on why humans remain uneasy about openness. In conversation with Shruti Rajagopalan, he puts forward his views on why an open world and open economy is the need of the hour.
