The Acceleration of Tranquility by Mark Helprin

28.01.10

After an evening of deep philosophical and sociological discussion focused on such topics as personal responsibility, innovation, and family my dear friend Jill dropped The Acceleration of Tranquility on me. It’s a beautiful and wonderfully thought provoking piece of literature written by Mark Helprin for the December 1996 issue of Forbes Magazine. Have a read if you’re so inclined.
