• “This e book is partially a detective story. After 9/11 I knew, if I wanted additional reinforcement, that we live in a brand new world – the world of a worldwide capitalist economic system that’s vastly extra versatile, resilient, open, self-correcting, and fast-changing than it was even 1 / 4 century earlier. It’s a world that presents us with monumental new prospects but in addition monumental new challenges. The Age of Turbulenceis my try to grasp the character of this new world: how we obtained right here, what we’re dwelling by, and what lies over the horizon, for good and for sick. Where attainable, I convey my understanding within the context of my very own experiences. I do that out of a way of duty to the historic document, and in order that listeners will know the place I’m coming from.
• “The e book is due to this fact divided in halves: the primary half is my effort to retrace the arc of my studying curve, and the second half is a extra goal effort to make use of this as the inspiration on which to erect a conceptual framework for understanding the brand new world economic system. Along the best way I discover crucial parts of this rising world surroundings: the ideas governing it; the huge power infrastructure that powers it; the worldwide monetary imbalances and dramatic shifts in world demographics that threaten it; and, regardless of its unquestioned success, the power concern over the justice of the distribution of its rewards. Finally, I convey collectively what we are able to fairly conjecture concerning the make-up of the world economic system in 2030.
