Many people fear the future, not understanding that the last 250 years have seen the world go from poor to moderately rich, with no reason for that trend to stop now. In fact, it’s likely to accelerate. And, to be “green,” you have to get rich! Our featured speaker, Laurence B. Seigel will show how the combination of capitalism, technology, and freedom has practically eliminated extreme poverty, made half of the world’s population middle class, and will enable us to meet our environmental challenges.
Laurence B. Siegel is the Gary P. Brinson Director of Research at the CFA Institute Research Foundation and was formerly director of research in the investment division of the Ford Foundation and a founding employee of Ibbotson Associates, now part of Morningstar Inc. He got his BA and MBA degrees from the University of Chicago. He is now a writer (author of Fewer, Richer, Greener and Unknown Knowns), consultant, and speaker on investment and economic issues. He may be reached at lbsiegel@uchicago.edu. His web site is http://www.larrysiegel.org.
