Jared Diamond has been called 'the master storyteller of the human race'. A
Pulitzer Prize-winning polymath who speaks 12 languages, his work has drawn
on history, geography, economics and anthropology to transform our
understanding of how civilisations rise and fall. His landmark global bestseller
Guns, Germs and Steel was described by Yuval Noah Harari as 'the book that
turned me from a historian of medieval warfare into a student of humankind'.
EFTA01032985
Now Diamond comes to the Intelligence Squared stage to mark the publication
of his latest book, Upheaval: How Nations Cope with Crisis and Change. He will
show how countries as diverse as Japan, Chile, Indonesia and Germany have
survived major upheavals in the recent past through a process of self-appraisal
and adaptation similar to the ways in which individuals learn to cope with
personal trauma. And looking ahead to the future, he will voice his concerns
about the potential shift of the United States and other successful countries
away from democracy. The lessons of history and the tools of self-knowledge,
he will argue, can be applied to any nation at any point to avert catastrophe
before it actually strikes.
Join us on May 30th and learn from one of the world's greatest intellectuals
how both nations and individuals can become more resilient in our troubled
times.
