The Daily Bruin

Join the Department of Business and Economics and the American Enterprise Institute this Wednesday, March 13, to screen a new documentary, The Pursuit, at 7 p.m. in Hoover 105. Cookies and beverages will be provided.

Professional-musician-turned-intrepid-economist Arthur Brooks travels around the globe in search of an answer to the question: How can we lift up the world, starting with those at the margins of society?

Arthur’s journey takes him through the chaotic streets of Mumbai, a town in Kentucky left behind by the global economy, a homeless shelter in New York, a street protest in Barcelona, and a Himalayan Buddhist monastery. Along the way, he discovers the secrets not only to material progress for the least fortunate but also true and lasting happiness for all.
