The Price of Tomorrow

Why Deflation Is the Key to an Abundant Future

By: Jeff Booth

Narrated by: Brian Troxell

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.

Prescient, timely, and thoughtful

This is an outstanding book that asks important questions. We need to think hard about those questions- and the right answers to those questions - as our future as a civilization mya very well depend on getting them right.

Must Read

This book resonated with me in many ways. Jeff articulated the challenges with face as a society. He puts language to how technology will either create mass abundance or mass destruction depending on how we manage it and whether or not our economic system is overhauled or not. Must read

Must listen

Must listen for everyone! Jeff does a great job clarifying a lot of concepts that most people are confused about but are too afraid to admit out of fear of being ridiculed. Great read. Highly recommended!

A Sober Look Ahead

This is one book which deserves listing to multiple times. While one might argue with specific details or assumptions, it presents a clear path to how technology will lead to abundance and price deflation.

Invest into deflationary assets

Very great information on how deflation can solve the world’s debt, trade and monetary problems. The author also gave great insights as to why people should be proactive for the future and invest into deflationary assets such as digital assets and products, along with gold, silver and especially Bitcoin!
