520 ""Bold, provocative...illuminates why we're having fewer
babies, the middle class is stagnating, unemployment is
shifting, and new powers are rising." - Adam Grant The
world you know is about to end-will you be prepared for
what comes next? A groundbreaking analysis from one of the
world's foremost experts on global trends. Once upon a
time, the world was neatly divided into prosperous and
backward economies. Babies were plentiful, workers
outnumbered retirees, and people aspiring towards the
middle class yearned to own homes and cars. Companies
didn't need to see any further than Europe and the United
States to do well. Printed money was legal tender for all
debts, public and private. We grew up learning how to
"play the game," and we expected the rules to remain the
same as we took our first job, started a family, saw our
children grow up, and went into retirement with our
finances secure. That world-and those rules-are over. By
2030, a new reality will take hold, and before you know it
: - There will be more grandparents than grandchildren -
The middle-class in Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa will
outnumber the US and Europe combined - The global economy
will be driven by the non-Western consumer for the first
time in modern history - There will be more global wealth
owned by women than men - There will be more robots than
workers - There will be more computers than human brains -
There will be more currencies than countries All these
trends, currently underway, will converge in the year 2030
and change everything you know about culture, the economy,
and the world. According to Mauro F. Guillen, the only way
to truly understand the global transformations underway-
and their impacts-is to think laterally. That is, using
"peripheral vision," or approaching problems creatively
and from unorthodox points of view. Rather than focusing
on a single trend-climate-change or the rise of illiberal
regimes, for example-Guillen encourages us to consider the
dynamic inter-play between a range of forces that will
converge on a single tipping point-2030-that will be, for
better or worse, the point of no return. 2030 is both a
remarkable guide to the coming changes and an exercise in
the power of "lateral thinking," thereby revolutionizing
the way you think about cataclysmic change and its
consequences"--|cProvided by publisher
