In this episode, Yaron sits down with Alex Epstein to discuss industrial progress and oil’s key role in the success of the human race.

Alex Epstein is a philosopher who argues that “human flourishing” should be the guiding principle of industrial and environmental progress. He founded Center for Industrial Progress (CIP) in 2011 to offer a positive, pro-human alternative to the Green movement. Epstein is the author of The Moral Case for Fossil Fuels (Penguin, 2014), a New York Times bestseller arguing that if we look at the whole picture, human flourishing requires that humanity use more fossil fuels not less.  You can learn more about Alex at CIP (Center for Industrial Progress).
