Speaking
Invite John to speak
He is best in front of an audience that disagrees with him. Campus lectures, moderated debates, donor and board briefings, panels — tell him what you have in mind and he will tell you honestly whether he is the right person for it.
Before you decide
Watch an hour of him first
A full hour with Brian Lamb on When Politicians Panicked, his book about the economic cost of the lockdowns.
He edits RealClearMarkets, has written for Forbes for years, and is the author of 8 books on economics. Booking him is not a gamble on whether he can hold a room for an hour — there is an hour of him holding one right here.
Hosted by C-SPAN. Opens in a new tab.

What he talks about
Any of these, and the argument is the same one underneath. Each links to what he has actually written on it, so you can read him before you book him.

Tell us what you have in mind
Four questions, and a person reads every one. The more you can say about the occasion and roughly when it is, the more useful the first reply will be.
If a date does not work or he is not the right fit, you will be told that plainly rather than left waiting.
