A Harvard-trained economist's startling predictions reveal
critical challenges in the decades ahead, helping
individuals, businesses, and governments to make smarter
decisions As individuals, companies, and countries struggle to recover
from the economic crisis, many are narrowly focused on
forecasts for the next week, month, or quarter. Yet they
should be asking what the global economy will look like in
the years to come—where will the long-term risks and
opportunities arise? These are the questions that Daniel
Altman confronts in his provocative and indispensable book. The fate of the global economy, Altman argues, will be
determined by deeper factors than those that move markets
from moment to moment. His incisive analysis brings together
hidden trends, societal pressures, and policy endgames to
make twelve surprising but logical predictions about the
years ahead. And his forecasts for the future raise a
pressing question for today: With so many challenges
awaiting us, are our political and economic institutions up
to the task? Outrageous Fortunes tells which industries will grow, which
economies will crumble, which investments will pay off, and
where the next big crisis may occur. Altman's carefully
reasoned text is an essential guide for the road ahead.
