JOEL KOTKIN at Town Hall Seattle

02/16/2010 7:30 pm
Co-presented with the TOWN HALL CENTER FOR CIVIC LIFE. Widely considered for his acumen on foreseeing global trends—urban patterns, economic shifts, social, cultural, and technological shifts and turns—Joel Kotkin casts an eye ahead in his newest book, The Next Hundred Million: America in 2050 (Penguin Press). "Kotkin offers a well-researched—and very sunny—forecast for the American economy, arguing that despite its daunting current difficulties, the U.S. will 'emerge by midcentury as the most affluent, culturally rich, and successful nation in human history.' Nourished by mass immigration and American society's 'proven adaptability,' the country will reign supreme ... Largely concerned with migration patterns within the U.S., the book also offers a nonpartisan view of America's strengths ... His confidence is well-supported and is a reassuring balm amid the political and economic turmoil of the moment." – Publishers Weekly. $5 tickets are available at the door starting at 6:30 p.m. or in advance via www.brownpapertickets.com (or 1-800-838-3006). Town Hall Seattle is at 1119 Eighth Avenue (at Seneca). Preferred seating for Town Hall members.
