Description: Which country will lead the revolution that comes after the Fourth Industrial Revolution? How will declining birth rates and an aging population unfold alongside COVID-19? What opportunities lie hidden between the digital-native Millennial generation and the world's largest consumer group, the Silver generation? How can cities, rapidly growing in size and number, overcome climate change and social polarization? This book forecasts that as today's major trends converge by the year 2030, a world completely different from the one we know will emerge. When that time comes, the center of the world will shift — from the Atlantic to Asia and Africa, from the young to the old, from men to women — and new science and technology will overturn our existing ideas about consumption and money. Written by a world-renowned management scholar who moves fluidly across economics, geopolitics, and sociology, this book offers a sharp-eyed view of the changes ahead, revealing the many risks and opportunities that will accompany this new era, and presenting strategies for navigating the crises and uncertainty to come.
