Thomas Homer-Dixon: The Upside of Down
Thursday November 23, 2006 at 7:30pm
Innis Town Hall-University of Toronto
2 Sussex Avenue (At St. George Street)
Toronto, Ontario Get Directions
In The Upside of Down, political scientist and award-winning author Thomas Homer-Dixon argues that converging stresses could cause a catastrophic breakdown of national and global order — a social earthquake that could hurt billions of people. But he shows that this outcome isn't inevitable; there's much we can do to prevent it. And after setting out a general theory of the growth, breakdown, and renewal of societies, he shows that less severe types of breakdown could open up extraordinary opportunities for creative, bold reform of our societies.

Innis Town Hall, 2 Sussex Avenue. T.O Thurs Nov 23, 7:30-10pm (doors 7pm), Tickets $5 @ Pages Books on Queen.
