Tim Worstall: Metals, mining and my heavyweight book

He wrote the book, and he's going to bring it along

Reg Events The Register's favourite economist cum metals trader cum miner Tim Worstall will be delivering our next Summer lecture on June 4 and launching his latest book to boot.

So, whether you want to hear Tim cough up pearls of wisdom on the obscure metals that underpin our industry, or throw the book at him for refuting some of the fluffier economic ideas that afflict tech, you should really invest in a ticket.

Tim will be kicking off the evening by taking us on a journey around the world’s rare metal hotspots, though you won’t have to leave the comfort of Clerkenwell.

While we keep being told that we're about to run out of all those lovely rare earth metals, Tim will show how we're not going to run out of anything in any human timescale. He’ll have the book to prove it - that’s if he finished it on time. Assuming he has, you might find yourself walking away with a signed copy.

The formal talk kicking off at 7pm, though the doors will be open from 5.30pm.

After 40 minutes or so of formal lecture, we’ll be having a brief, er, refreshment break, before having some no holds-barred Q&A.

So, if you want to go head to head with Tim on the niceties of metals markets or applications, or simply want to enjoy a beer and some nibbles with us while someone else does, just click here. ®
