Last week I reviewed Capitalism in America for CapX. The book, by Alan Greenspan and Adrian Wooldridge, is an unmissable account of America’s rise from colonial backwater to economic powerhouse and a testament to the power of popular capitalism.
I’m thrilled to say that for the next CapX Live event Adrian will be coming to our offices to talk about his book.

As well as being the co-author of Capitalism in America, Adrian is the political editor and Bagehot columnist for The Economist.
The event will take place on Tuesday, 4th December at 6:30PM. Refreshments will be provided.
