As many of our fans know, if George Gilder thinks something is brilliant, we are intrigued. During our last interview with him he mentioned Dr. Marian Tupy's work on The Simon Project, an attempt to understand the growth of wealth in terms of the amount of labor it takes to obtain a certain commodity, product, or service.

Ron and Ed are pleased to welcome the author of The Simon Project to this week's show were will discuss the project as well as Marian's upcoming book, Ten Global Trends that Every Smart Person Needs to Know: And Many Other Trends You Will Find Interesting.
