1 小时 25 分钟Welcome to the LSE events podcast by the London School of Economics and Political Science.
Get ready to hear from some of the most influential international figures in the social sciences.
LSE events are taking a break over the summer, so we've dug into our archives
of more than 7,000 lectures to bring you some of our favourites, including this one.
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 programme on cohesive capitalism.
And it's also part of the ESRC Festival of Social Sciences, which is a series of events which we'll be carrying on.
Until November on bringing the social sciences to the world.
So my name is Neil Lee.
I'm a professor of economic geography here at the LSE.
And I'm really pleased to welcome an all-star panel to talk about this book.
So we've got Carl Benedict Frey from the University of Oxford, Jane Gingrich and Michael Stauper.
And we're here to discuss Carl's book, How Progress Ends Technology, Innovation and the Fate of Nations.
Now, Carl is, 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.
He's Dieter Schwartz, Associate Professor of AI and Work at the Oxford Internet Institute
and the Oxford Martin City Fellow at the Oxford Martin School, both at the University of Oxford.
He's a fellow at Mansfield College, the Institute for New Economic Thinking at Oxford,
and Lund University's Department of Economic History.
