POPULARITY
Sphere is excited to engage our educator community in discussion about the factors that contributed to the rise and fall of some of humanity's greatest civilizations. Through a moderated discussion with author Johan Norberg, a Senior Fellow at the Cato Institute, we will explore seven of humanity's greatest civilizations—ancient Athens, the Roman Republic, Abbasid Baghdad, Song China, Renaissance Italy, the Dutch Republic and the Anglosphere—featured in his new book, Peak Human. We will examine their contributions to societal progress during each of their golden ages and unpack valuable lessons we can learn from them. Following moderated discussion, we will walk through how to support student exploration of these topics with Sphere content author and alumnus Sean Kinnard. Hosted on Acast.

Humans have periods of great success followed by decline and eventual collapse. It's what we do. Golden Ages lose their shine. We are living in the greatest Golden Age of all time and what happens next for us isn't fate, it's a choice says Swedish historian, lecturer and commentator Johan Norberg. He mines lessons from golden ages of the past to help keep our present one going longer in his new book, Peak Human, What We Can Learn from the Rise and Fall of Golden Ages.

MÅNADENS DIKTARE (FEBRUARI) UPPLÄSNING: Bengt Pohjanen Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Bengt Pohjanen, född 1944, var fortfarande gymnasist när han skrev det första utkastet till sin mest kända dikt ”Jag är född utan språk”. Där fångar han erfarenheten av att berövas sitt modersmål, meänkieli, som på 50-talet ännu inte erkändes av svenska staten eller tilläts i skolan: ”Jag är uppväxt vid gränsen / i korseld mellan två språk / som piskat min tunga / till stumhet”. Dikten finns vid det här laget översatt till ett trettiotal språk.”Språket är själens fingeravtryck” (Barents publisher, 2023) är titeln på Pohjanens senaste diktsamling, skriven på hans tre språk: svenska, finska och meänkieli. Språklösheten och flerspråkigheten utgör kärnan i Bengt Pohjanens författarskap som är fast förankrat i uppväxtens Tornedalen, ett gränsland, en plats för gränsöverskridande – och inte minst för berättande. I den självbiografiska romanen ”Smugglarkungens son” (Norstedts, 2007) skriver han: ”En smugglarkung tänker aldrig längs gränser, han tänker över dem. För att kunna göra det måste han ha sin berättarkanon, där gränsens filosofi har sin ideologiska grund.”Bengt Pohjanens dikter publicerades första gången 1973 i tidskriften Vår lösen, i bokform debuterade han med romanen ”Och fiskarna svarar Guds frid” 1979. Han har även skrivit dramatik, sånger, filmmanus och operalibretton. När det gäller meänkieli, som fick status som nationellt minoritetsspråk i Sverige först år 2000, är han en pionjär som bland annat har utarbetat en grammatik, skrivit den första romanen på språket samt översatt delar av Bibeln och Harry Martinsons ”Aniara”.DIKT: Ur ”Kamos, i hjärtat av vintern” av Bengt PohjanenDIKTSAMLING: Kamos, i hjärtat av vintern (Norstedts, 1986)MUSIK: CajsaStina Åkerström: OutroEXEKUTÖR: Goran Kajfes, trumpet, Johan Norberg, mellotron och Andreas Landegren, piano.
We investigate Oxfam's claim that “since 2020, the five richest men in the world have seen their fortunes more than double, while almost five billion people have seen their wealth fall”. With the help of Johan Norberg, Historian and Author of ideas and Felix Salmon, Financial Correspondent at Axios, we explore the figures behind the wealth of the richest and uncover what it really tells us about the world's financial markets. And Charles Kenny, senior fellow at the Centre for Global Development in Washington DC, helps us unpick why, when looking at the world's poorest people, measurements of wealth don't always tell us what we really need to know.

BIO: Johan Norberg is an author, lecturer, and historian of ideas from Stockholm, Sweden. His books on economics, politics, and history have been translated into more than 30 languages.STORY: Johan talks about capitalism and why it's important.LEARNING: We should never lose sight of the benefits of capitalism. Capitalism is about peace, trust, and voluntary exchange, not war. “No matter what your long-term objective is, it's better to be wealthy using resources in an effective manner and being more productive.”Johan Norberg Guest profileJohan Norberg is an author, lecturer, and historian of ideas from Stockholm, Sweden. His books on economics, politics, and history have been translated into more than 30 languages.In today's episode, Johan discusses capitalism and its importance. Johan recently published his latest book, The Capitalist Manifesto. Like the title, the book is brilliant! Elon Musk said: “This book is an excellent explanation of why capitalism is not just successful, but morally right, especially chapter 4.” Have we lost sight of the benefits of capitalism?Without free markets and free trade, we'd probably be nowhere because it was only with the advent of higher productivity, open global markets, and free enterprise. Remember that when you give people more freedom to seek out opportunities to innovate, develop new business models, and exchange their best with the best of others, you have the machinery to reduce poverty and hunger worldwide.We must never forget this process because once people reach a certain threshold, they take wealth, opportunities, and technologies for granted and forget where they came from. This happens to many countries worldwide, electing the populace who use wealth without realizing that it's not a pile of cash that happens to lie around.If we were to stop producing and innovating and start consuming and redistributing the wealth already on the planet, all of it would be gone in around four years. So wealth has to be created every day by hard work.Can government and capitalism co-exist?For your business to make a profit, you must make all the other groups happy. You have to satisfy your customers by giving them something they value more than the money they hand you. You must also pay your workers, suppliers, and those who lent you money. Then, and only then, if you made all these groups happy, and there's something left for you, which will be heavily taxed, can you make a profit. The bigger your profit, the more good you've done to society.However, some profit is made not by competing over having the best goods and services but by having good connections with politicians and governments. They get subsidies and tariff protection from governments picking taxpayers' pockets and handing them to businesses. That's the opposite of a free market and capitalism—cronyism. It's a horrible thing that can only end by stopping politicians from entering the game of business, picking winners, and deciding who gets what.Unfortunately, the future has no lobbyists, business organizations, or trade unions to defend them, only the incumbents and the old alternatives who constantly tailor all the regulations and policies to their needs and demands. Johan says the natural history of business regulation is always that you have, at first, a...
https://youtu.be/cR981Xk7WPs Free market capitalism is not really about capital, it is about handing control of the economy from the top to billions of independent consumers, entrepreneurs and workers, and allowing them to make their own decisions about what they think will improve their lives. So careless talk about ‘taking control of capitalism' actually means that governments take control of citizens. - Johan Norberg, The Capitalist Manifesto Watch on BitChute

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays from the Connors Institute at Shippensburg University! Since this Utterly Moderate episode is both our Christmas program and our 100th PODCAST EPISODE, we thought we would try to be as uplifting as possible. In that spirit, we are being joined by Johan Norberg, author of a number of books including Progress: Ten Reasons to Look Forward to the Future. In that book, Norberg presents extensive data documenting how the world has gotten much better over the centuries across several measures, including freedom, life expectancy, poverty, violence, hunger, sanitation, the environment, literacy, and more. The book helps us not only to avoid being so doom and gloom about the state of the world, but to identify the reasons why we have made so much progress in the first place, avoid derailing those efforts, and help us build on them for a better tomorrow. Enjoy this conversation, and very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all. Sign up for our FREE NEWSLETTER in one click at ConnorsInstitute.org.

Will free markets save the world? In this video, IEA Head of Political Economy Kristian Niemietz sits down with Swedish author and historian of ideas Johan Norberg. In his latest book, Norberg argues that large sections of the political and economic establishment talk about the global economy as a geopolitical zero-sum game, where we have to fight to control new innovations, and introduce trade barriers. He states the case for capitalism and the vital role played by the free market in today's uncertain world.

Globalization has come under fire over the past two decades as the world has lived through an international financial crisis, terrorist attacks, a pandemic, and the return of war in Europe. Johan Norberg will explain why, despite such turmoil, the free market has still made the past 20 years the best time in human history by almost any measure of well‐being. He will discuss why trade protectionism, industrial policy, and other proposals from the left and the right are mistakes that should not be repeated. The market, a system based on cooperation and exchange, still offers the best way to address and think about current issues, including the rise of China, the role of Big Tech, and inequality. Chris Griswold will provide a critique of markets from a conservative perspective and suggest policies to limit globalization. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The attacks on Sweden's laissez faire approach were shortsighted, says the Cato Institute senior fellow.

Communications Officer Harrison Griffiths and Head of Political Economy Kristian Niemietz discuss 'The Mirage of Swedish Socialism', new research by Johan Norberg which charts Sweden's surprisingly complex economic history. 'The Mirage of Swedish Socialism' was published as part of the Fraser Institute's 'Realities of Socialism' project. Find out more here: https://www.fraserinstitute.org/studies/realities-of-socialism

The lads sit down with Swedish writer and historian Johan Norberg to discuss his forthcoming book The Capitalist Manifesto; his report on Sweden's Covid response; his almost-a-book The Mirage of Swedish Socialism: The Economic History of a Welfare State; and that time, twenty years ago, when he first came across Moynihan wandering around Stockholm, clutching a book about filthy commies.
