Guy Sorman is a French journalist, economist, philosopher and author born on March 10th, 1944 in Paris France. He has written many books that preach the ideals of creativity and modern capitalism. He is close to classical liberalism postulates. His ideas about renewable energy and environmentalism, as expressed in his book Progress and its enemies, are particularly controversial.

He is a regular columnist for Le Figaro in France, the Wall Street Journal and City Journal in the United States, and other publications around the world. Mr. Sorman taught economics at the Paris Institute of Political Sciences from 1970 to 2000. He has held several public offices, including advisor to the prime minister of France (1995-1997) and deputy mayor of Boulonge, near Paris.

He recently attended the 2008 Carnegie Counsel on April 9th where he talked about China and how it is socially developing as a nation, presenting his new book The Empire of Lies (Newly translated into English). He says "There are not 2 million Tibetans in China. There are 1 billion Tibetans in China." The idea was to show that Chinese people also suffer the same oppresion as Tibetans in his view. Like the Dalai Lama, he also does not want China to be boycotted for the Olympics.
