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.

Fantastic.

This is a must read for anyone who gets frustrated with the state of the world whenever they turn onto one of the endlessly cycling news channels. Real insights into world debt and the extraordinary onward March of technology and A.I. Not too complex to follow either. It’s not often I will go back for another listen but I will with this one and I’ll be making notes.

Full of wisdom and well narrated

Brilliant, fairly succinct audio book which is easy to listen to if you sit down, stop everything you're doing and give it the attention it deserves.
I listened to the majority over 4 or 5 days during the New year.
Booth shared his personal experience which others have interpreted as being boastful, but I found they act as metaphors/lessons to relate more with my own life.
A must for someone who doesn't have a 5 year plan, and even those that do might want to rethink theirs.

Opinion based - lots of incorrect info

Sadly a let down for me. Was recommended by a friend as I thought it was primarily about Bitcoin. Listened anyway, the author has what he feels are strong opinions and he feels are fact based. They’re not. He has quite a bit of mis-info. If you’re going to listen to this, only the first and last chapters are of interest. The rest is just conjecture.

Quite cleverly disguised eco-babble

I’m not too sure about the author’s intentions with this but clearly his approach to research was visibly (or audibly) biased towards the current market trends.

He spared no words trying to find justification for going all-in with solar and wind energy production despite the huge downsides, both practical and environmental.

Reading this from about halfway through made me think this was a cleverly disguised environmental babble.

However the other parts and the build up is solid, well thought out and well written. It’s just a shame that the ideology has blindfolded the author to a point where he didn’t dig deep enough or stopped himself from discussing “clean energy”.

Instead, he could’ve focused on just energy as a driver and that would perfectly in line with the rest of his book.

Very thought provoking

Excellent content, well presented invitation to stop the status quo’s of boom and bust, depression and wars and dare to learn from and change our past mistakes
