The Price of Tomorrow

<p><strong>"Your world view will transform instantly" </strong>- SALIM ISMAIL Bestselling Author of <em>Exponential Organizations</em><br /><br> </p><p>We live in an extraordinary time. Technological advances are happening at a rate faster than our ability to understand them and in a world that moves faster than we can imagine we cannot afford to stand still. These advances bring efficiency and abundance—and they are profoundly deflationary. </p><p>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. </p><p>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. </p><p>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. </p><p>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.</p>
