Titles By Jeff Booth
Our economic systems were built for a pre-technology era when labour and capital were inextricably linked, an era that counted on growth and inflation, an era where we made money from inefficiency. That era is over, but we keep on pretending that those economic systems still work.
The only thing driving growth in the world today is easy credit, which is being created at a pace that is hard to comprehend—and with it, debt that we will never be able to pay back. As we try to artificially drive an economic system built for the past, we are creating more than just economic trouble.
On our current path, our world will become profoundly more polarized and unsafe. We need to build a new framework for our local and global economies, and soon; we need to accept deflation and embrace the abundance it can bring. Otherwise, the same technology that has the power to bring abundance to us and our world will instead destroy it.
In this extraordinary contrarian book, Jeff Booth, a leading mind and CEO in e-commerce and technology for 20 years, details the technological and economic realities shaping our present and our future, and the choices we face as we go forward—a potentially alarming, but deeply hopeful situation.
Os avanços tecnológicos estão a acontecer mais depressa do que a nossa capacidade para os compreender e, num mundo que está a avançar a um ritmo mais rápido do que podemos imaginar, não nos podemos dar ao luxo de ficar parados.
Precisamos de construir uma nova estrutura para as nossas economias locais e globais, e temos de o fazer depressa. Senão, a mesma tecnologia que tem a capacidade de trazer abundância, para nós e para o nosso mundo, irá simplesmente destruí-lo.
Neste livro extraordinariamente inconformista, Jeff Booth, líder e CEO nos setores do comércio eletrónico e da tecnologia, explica em detalhe as realidades tecnológicas e económicas que moldam o nosso mundo, presente e futuro, e as escolhas que fazemos à medida que avançamos – uma situação potencialmente alarmante, mas extremamente promissora.
