Twenty-five years after the publication of his groundbreaking first book, Malcolm Gladwell returns with a brand new volume that reframes the lessons of The Tipping Point in a startling and revealing light.
Malcolm, co-founder of Pushkin Industries and author of seven New York Times bestsellers, has been recognized as one of Time magazine’s 100 Most Influential People. His unique ability to connect seemingly unrelated phenomena has earned him a reputation as one of the most thought-provoking authors of our time.
Why did Los Angeles become the bank robbery capital of the world in the late 1980s and early ‘90s? What is the Magic Third and what does it have to do with racial equity? What do big cats and clusters of teen suicides have in common? Malcolm will revisit these questions during this illuminating event.
In conversation with author and economic journalist Tim Harford, Malcolm will address the phenomena of epidemics and examines the ways in which we have learned to tinker with and shape the spread of ideas, viruses, and trends – sometimes with great success, sometimes with disastrous consequences.
For this stimulating evening you can expect Malcolm to show that above all, we must take tipping points seriously if we want to change the world for the better.
