Luke Burgis is the author of the award-winning book WANTING: The Power of Mimetic Desire in Everyday Life, which has been translated into more than 20 languages. He is a professor of business at The Catholic University of America and the founder and director of The Cluny Institute, whose mission is to build cultural architecture at the intersection of “Athens, Jerusalem, and Silicon Valley”: faith, reason, and innovation. Luke has worked on Wall Street and is also a veteran startup founder, before he stepped away and entered seminary formation for several years. He graduated from NYU’s Stern School of Business and went on to study philosophy and earn a degree in theology from the Pontifical University of the Holy Cross in Rome. His new book, THE ONE AND THE NINETY-NINE: Forging Identity in the Age of Social Contagion, has won recognition by the National Endowment for the Humanities as a culturally significant work. Luke lives in Washington, DC, and West Michigan with his wife, Claire, and their children.
