DESCRIPTION:Cambridge Society for Economic Pluralism and 80\,000 Hours: Ca
 mbridge have come together to host one of the biggest events of the year. 
 We are honoured to be hosting Simon Anholt on the question ‘Which countr
 y does the most good?’.\n\nMany of you will have already seen Simon’s 
 TED talk\, which went instantly viral with over two million views\, arguin
 g for us to stop obsessing about how well countries are doing\, and start 
 asking how much they’re doing for the future of humanity and the planet.
  Anholt also introduced the Good Country Index\, a balance-sheet for the w
 orld\, that has proved highly controversial. At the core of this is the qu
 estion about what countries are really for. Do they exist purely to serve 
 the interests of their own politicians\, businesses and citizens? Or are t
 hey actively working for humanity and its only home\, this planet? The deb
 ate is a critical one.If the first answer is the correct one\, we’re all
  in deep trouble\, argues Anholt. \n\nProfessor Anholt served as Vice-Chai
 r of the UK Foreign Office’s Public Diplomacy Board\, was awarded the No
 bels Colloquia Prize for Economics in 2009 and the Prix d'Excellence du Fo
 rum Multiculturel pour un Développement Durable (Award for Excellence in 
 Sustainable Development) in 2010. Find out more about Professor Anholt onl
 ine.\n\nThis new perspective on the role of nations has taken off around t
 he world and this is an amazing opportunity to hear why. All events of Cam
 bridge Society for Economic Pluralism and 80\,000 Hours: Cambridge are fre
 e and open to all - come and join us\, and invite your friends!
