THE PURSUIT follows professional musician turned intrepid economist Arthur Brooks as he travels around the globe in search of an answer to the question: How can we lift up the world, starting with those at the margins of society? His journey takes him through the chaotic streets of Mumbai, a town in Kentucky left behind by the global economy, a homeless shelter in New York, a street protest in Barcelona, and a Himalayan Buddhist monastery. Along the way, he discovers the secrets not only to material progress for the least fortunate, but also true and lasting happiness for all.

He also serves as a member of the Banking and Insurance; Finance; Fish, Game and Forestry; Labor, Commerce and Industry; and Transportation committees.
