Dive into the bold vision of co-founder and former Kickstarter CEO Yancey Strickler at an evening talk in Henry Ford Museum of American Innovation. In his first book, This Could Be Our Future: A Manifesto for a More Generous World, Strickler examines how we change course to build a society that’s ready for the future.
