  And it's my huge pleasure to introduce Cass Sunstein.

• 00:30

  from Harvard University to talk about his book.

• 00:34

  This is Robert Walter University Professor at Harvard.

• 00:38

  I'm Founder and Director of the Behavioral Economics and Public Policy at Harvard Law School.

• 00:43

  Many of you will know his work.

• 00:46

  He's an extraordinary, embarrassingly prolific author across a huge range of subjects.

• 00:54

  But he's most recently very recently just published this book on liberalism and I think it's a fascinating book I'm not going to tell you why Cass is going to do that but I think it's an appropriate book for the times so with with that I'm going to hand over to Cass he's going to speak for about half an hour I think it's good for you all that He talks about the book and lots of you will also be interested in Nogenomics and all the other things that he's done.
