Orwell Goode

About the Author

Orwell Goode is a provocative thinker and author whose work delves into the intricate dynamics of human behavior and societal evolution. With a background in philosophy and economics, Goode examines how seemingly subtle psychological traits, such as time preferences, profoundly influence the trajectory of civilizations. His debut book, 'A Matter of Time: How Time Preferences Make or Break Civilization,' offers a compelling analysis of how our orientation toward the present versus the future shapes economic prosperity, cultural norms, and long-term sustainability. Drawing on historical examples and interdisciplinary insights, Goode challenges readers to reconsider the foundational elements of progress. A resident of New York City, he continues to write essays and lectures on the intersections of psychology, history, and policy, advocating for mindful decision-making in an increasingly impatient world.
