John F. Wasik

I am the author of 19 books, including "Lincolnomics" and "Lightning Strikes: Timeless Lessons in Creativity from the Life and Work of Nikola Tesla." I've also contributed to The New York Times, Forbes, Real Clear Investigations, The Wall Street Journal, Reuters, Bloomberg and several other international publications. My latest book answers the question: "What would Abe Lincoln think about economic progress today?" I view his life through the lens of infrastructure, education, prosperity and equality. This unique new biography examines one of our greatest presidents in the time of COVID, BLM, climate change and a need for repairs and healing on every level. As a professional speaker, I've addressed tens of thousands: I have spoken about creativity, technology, history, investing and innovation across North America.
