Generation Hope: How Inclusive Economics Can Help Us All Thrive - Arunjay Katakam

A generation of hope is what we need urgently. Here is a book helping ensure the next one proves precisely that. -Yanis Varoufakis, author of Technofuedalism and Another Now A beautifully powerful call, humbly told, to turn your attention to the greater good. -Derek Sivers, author of Anything You Want and Hell Yeah or No - It has become clear: Our current economic system is broken. Growth at all costs is unsustainable. It's easy to get discouraged when faced with the reality of the current climate crisis, economic instability, and the vast income inequality across the globe. It's obvious that our trajectory is aimed toward destruction. But is it possible to make adjustments to that path, and if so, who's going to lead us? Generation Hope answers these questions, first by exploring the historical, political, economic, and cultural foundations that got us where we are today, and then delving into what it's going to take to ensure that we are headed toward a sustainable future that benefits us all. Written in clear and compelling prose, the book addresses a wide range of today's most pressing economic issues, from the macroeconomic challenges that humanity collectively faces, to our personal engagement with our current economic system. You will read illuminating and inspiring examples of people, organizations, companies, and governments that are already doing the work of building inclusive economic systems that serve all of humanity and this planet we call home. The responsibility for making these changes rests upon our generation. This book shows us that by doing the following, we have the potential to create meaningful impact and contribute to a more positive and sustainable world: - Acknowledge that change begins within ourselves. - Understand that our collective efforts can shape a new narrative for our economic and social systems. - Adopt a mindset of abundance. - Raise our consciousness. - Foster community. - Advocate for inclusive economics. Little by little, our consciousness is already shifting, especially among millennials and younger generations. This book illustrates how to continue moving from a mindset of scarcity and survival to one of abundance and thriving, from narrow-minded self-interest to an awareness that we are part of a much larger interconnected whole. The world needs us. Together, we can save our planet and help humanity thrive. Together, we are Generation Hope.
