Guest speaker John de Graaf (co-author of the bestselling "Affluenza: The All-consuming Epidemic") argues that we must begin to trade productivity advances for more free time instead of more material goods if we are to be free as individuals and to be sustainable as a society.

This conversation is co-sponsored by the schools of Public Policy and History, Technology, & Society.
