Publisher's summary

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.

Our economic systems were built for a pre-technology era when labor and capital were inextricably linked - an era that counted on growth and inflation and 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.

Most powerful book I’ve read in over 10 years

This book strikes at the root of the current system that stifled innovation and has consolidated power into the hands of an elite class. The call to action really illustrates how as a whole we can build a better future for our world.

Key Perspective

This book reiterates the 50k foot key perspective of where we are in society today and the real issues we should be thinking about that 99% of voters are completely unaware of

Delation - an urgent topic

Finding a way to tackle the tendency of socialist goverments to adopt money printing as a solution to the shortage of resources - this is what this book is about, and performs this task with honors!

Great book

Highly recommend. Everyone should read this!!! The future depends on it , get it now to inform yourself

Very eye opening and gets to the main issue!

Very great read! If you are looking for a non political book that breaks down the core issue that we are facing as a nation/world, this book does a wonderful job.

Well written book about deflation involving tech

Well written, thought provoking, inspiring. Learned about a lot of different things including how tech leads to deflation and more.

Incredible book that makes you think - A must read

Thank you Jeff for taking the time to write this book!

Big impact on me!

Required Reading for the 2020s

It's quite rare for a credible author/entrepreneur to illuminate in such a readable format the major factors that are driving the entire global economy that have been underemphasized by most analysts. Jeff has done exactly this by shining the spotlight on the deflationary effects of technology and how they are interacting with the global financial and economic systems.

In an era of major ongoing technological and economic shifts, this book is simply required reading. The thesis is compelling, the format is optimal, and the language is plain and clear.

The themes of this book impact literally everyone on the planet. It is one of the best I have read in years. Read it!

Lovely

Enjoyed his perspective and input on this topic. I would recommend to a friend or family.

Nothing can stop what is coming.

A story that clearly portrays the dynamic of financial, monetary and economic trickery and the inescapable destiny before us. Optimistic.
