At the Social Science History Association Annual Meeting, held in Chicago, Illinois on November 15-18, 2007, a session was held which was dedicated to Gregory Clark's A Farewell to Alms: A Brief Economic History of the World. A transcript of remarks from the session, taped by David Hacker and transcribed by Susan Wolcott, is now available on EH.Net as well as a response by the author. We invite you to also read Robert A. Margo's review of the book for EH.Net Review.
