What to expect
The world and its economic foundations are shifting beneath our feet.
We are at the threshold of the new roaring twenties—a resurgent era of technology-driven advancement with greater financial equality and economic expansion. Not unlike the famed decade of the previous century, our next ten years will be filled with striking cultural shifts, new challenges, and, ultimately, abundant financial opportunities.
Paul Zane Pilzer, the economist/entrepreneur and New York Times bestselling author, sees a better world on the horizon. In The New Roaring Twenties, he imparts inspiration and a new template for escaping the shadow of a global pandemic, with all its fallout, and stepping into the resplendent possibilities of the future.
Pilzer details eleven economic and societal pillars that will be essential for navigating our new world:
Economic:
Explosive technology-driven wealth
An energy revolution
Job market upheaval
Accelerated arrival of AI robots
The gig economy
Universal Basic Income opportunities
Societal:
Growing influence of Millennials
Expansion of the sharing revolution
Consumer surplus
Shift from material consumption toward better quality of life
A new Pax China/Americana
Drawing on what these eleven pillars tell us about who we have been and who we are becoming, Pilzer shares practical guidance for thriving in the uncharted territory of the next decade. The New Roaring Twenties offers solid ground in a shifting world, revealing the principles that will allow you to find new pathways to financial success and personal happiness.
