"The Real Risk is Totalitarian World Government" - Peter Thiel

Dr Bjørn Lomborg is a researcher, writer and the founder of the  think tank, Copenhagen Consensus. He has collaborated with hundreds of the world’s top economists and seven Nobel Laureates to find and promote the most effective solutions to the world’s greatest challenges, from disease and hunger to climate and education. His latest book, ‘Best Things First’ posits 12 of these solutions and details how they can be applied in a relatively inexpensive manner.
