About me
George Gilder is a technology futurist, investor, and bestselling author whose ideas have shaped debates on capitalism, innovation, and economic growth for more than four decades. A longtime champion of entrepreneurial dynamism, Gilder has argued that wealth is created not by redistribution, but by creativity, risk-taking, and the expansion of knowledge.
His influential books — including Wealth and Poverty, Life After Google, and Knowledge and Power — have anticipated major shifts in technology, telecommunications, and digital finance. He was an early advocate for supply-side economics and has remained a leading voice on how technological breakthroughs drive prosperity and freedom.
At FreedomFest, Gilder explores the future of the free economy — where innovation, decentralization, and human creativity outpace bureaucracy and control.
