博客來The global economy is at a crossroads, where unprecedented growth collides with profound disruption, forever altering the landscape of work, wealth, and society itself.
In an era defined by rapid technological advancement and unforeseen global challenges, the very foundations of our economic world are shifting beneath our feet. From the relentless march of AI and automation to the profound impacts of global pandemics and climate change, we are witnessing an intense period of ’Creative Destruction’-a fundamental reshaping of industries, jobs, and social structures.
This transformative age presents a critical dilemma: the promise of unparalleled ’bounty’ and innovation clashes directly with the stark realities of job displacement, widening economic inequality, and the precarious future of work. How do societies navigate the ’fundamental political trilemma’ of globalization, national determination, and democracy, while ensuring that the benefits of progress are shared, and not just concentrated in the hands of a few? This book delves into the complex interplay of these forces, from the ’Great Lockdown’s’ economic tremors to the long-term effects of financial crises.
