Good evening and welcome to the London School of Economics, those of you in the room.
and online for tonight's event.
Tonight's event is hosted by the Department of Geography and Environment and co-hosted with the program on Cohesive Capitalism.

So my name's Neil Lee.

And I'm really pleased to be welcome, well, to welcome an all-star panel to talk about this book.
So we've got Karl Benedict Frey from the University of Oxford, Jane Gingrich and Michael Storper.
And we're here to discuss Karl's book,
How Progress Ends Technology, Innovation and the Fate of Nations.
Now, Karl is one of the,
I'd say he's probably one of the leading scholars of technology and innovation in the world today.
So we're really, really pleased that he could come here and talk about his book.
