A Future History of the World 1980 - 2020
We are watching the beginnings of a global economic boom on a scale never experienced before. We have entered a period of sustained growth that could eventually double the world's economy every dozen years and bring increasing prosperity for billions of people. We are riding the early waves of a 40-year cycle of a greatly expanding economy that will do much to solve seemingly intractable problems like poverty and to ease tension throughout the world. And we will do it without blowing the lid off the environment!
'The Long boom' is a radically optimistic book that examines and predicts the 40-year period from 1980 to 2020 as the key years of a remarkable economic transformation - a period that historians will look back on as an extraordinary moment.
