- **Event Name**: LIVE: In conversation with Luke Kemp, author of Goliath’s, Edinburgh 21st March
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 21 Mar, 2026 at 01:45 pm – Sat, 21 Mar, 2026 at 03:00 pm (+00:00)
- **Event Description**: A radical retelling of human history through collapse – from the dawn of our species to the urgent existential threats of the twenty-first century and beyond. 

Luke Kemp, Research Associate at the Centre for the Study of Existential Risk at Cambridge University, will be interviewed by Donnie Maclurcan, Director of Strategy at the Post Growth Institute. 

For the first 300,000 years of human history, hunter-gathering Homo sapiens lived in fluid, egalitarian civilizations that thwarted any individual or group from ruling permanently. Then, around 12,000 years ago, that began to change.

Drawing on the festival’s themes of inequality, historic injustice, and the relationship between politics and economics, this discussion will explore how America’s internal economic design shapes global outcomes. The session will ask whether the world is witnessing the slow unravelling of an old order or the emergence of a new one — and what that means for countries like Scotland seeking a fairer, more sustainable economic model.

General admission tickets are only £8.

Richard's talk is one of our standout sessions at the three-day Economics Festival in Leith, 19-21 March.
