LAI to Represent Gregg Easterbrook Exclusively

From the office of my boss:

“I am pleased to announce that Leading Authorities will be representing Gregg Easterbrook, author of the just-published book, “Sonic Boom: Globalization at Mach Speed.” Published by Random House, the book is the focus of a two-page spread in the February 22 edition of Newsweek Magazine. See attached link:

Gregg Easterbrook is a highly-acclaimed author and a contributing editor to The Atlantic (he has written more than a dozen cover stories). He also writes for The New Republic. His articles have appeared in The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, and on the covers of Newsweek and Time.

In the tradition of Tom Friedman, Gregg’s new book, Sonic Boom, talks about how globalization is fundamentally changing the economy and creating unprecedented wealth and unprecedented uncertainty and angst. He posits that despite the financial meltdown of 2008, the world economy is getting back on its long term growth track and that continuing globalization, interconnectedness, and technological advances are making the world more prosperous….from the developed world to the emerging markets.

According to Gregg, the city of Shenzen in China has become the fourth largest port in the world in a single generation; Waltham, Massachussetts is New England’s answer to Silicon valley, even as it becomes more inhospitable to fading mercantile industries; Yakutsk, Russia, the coldest major city in the world is poised to be a major beneficiary of global warming; General Electric has moved from selling light bulb to jets to green tech. In his book and lectures, Gregg helps us understand the trends and economic developments that are fundamentally changing the way people work, communicate, and live.

Forbes Magazine called Gregg “the best writer on complex topics in the United States.”

Sought after by the media, Gregg has appeared on Today, Larry King, Nightline, CBS Morning News, All Things Considered, The NewsHour with Jim Lehrer, and The O’Reilly Factor, to name few.”
