Vou dar um pulinho em Washington e ja volto... (a book, of course...)

Se alguém tiver uma passagem sobrando, ou milhas em excesso, favor avisar.
Bem que gostaria de assistir a esse lançamento. O livro vai demorar um pouco para entrar no Abebooks (em todo caso, cabe conferir...). [Já conferi: abaixo...]

History of the Future: The Shape of the World to Come Is Visible Today
Monday, July 18
12:00 PM - 2:00 PM

Human character has always been shaped by struggles against poverty, tyranny, and war. Hudson Institute co-founder and Senior Fellow Max Singer’s new book, History of the Future: The Shape of the World to Come Is Visible Today (Lexington Books), argues that poverty, tyranny, and war will be largely eliminated in the future. Without the struggles that have plagued humanity throughout history, Singer says we will have to find new ways to shape character. In this work which continues the research into the future that Singer began with Herman Kahn a half-century ago, Singer asks the important question: Will people really be better off when the whole world has become wealthy, free, and peaceful?

Professor Bruce Bueno de Mesquita of New York University praises History of the Future, noting that “anyone who wants to understand where the world of politics, economics, and freedom is headed must read this book.”

Singer is a Senior Fellow at Hudson Institute and at the BESA Institute of Bar Ilan University in Israel. He is the author of Passage to a Human World: The Dynamics of Creating Global Wealth, with a foreword by Irving Kristol (Transaction Publishers, 2d ed. 1989); and of The REAL World Order: Zones of Peace/Zones of Turmoil, with Aaron Wildavsky (Chatham House, rev’d ed. 1996).

Hudson Institute has convened an illustrious panel to offer their thoughts on Singer’s insightful new work. Joining Singer to discuss the book will be Hillel Fradkin, Hudson Senior Fellow and Director of the Center on Islam, Democracy and the Future of the Muslim World; Carol Lancaster, Dean of the School of Foreign Service, Georgetown University; and Michael Mandelbaum, Christian A. Herter Professor of American Foreign Policy at The Johns Hopkins University School of Advanced International Studies. Hudson President and CEO Kenneth Weinstein will host and provide introductions for the event.
