About this listen

Bloomsbury presents The World in 2050 by Hamish McRae, read by Gordon Griffin.

A dazzling history of the future – Hamish McRae has given us a tour de force' – Tim Harford
_______________

A bold and illuminating vision of the future, from one of Europe’s foremost speakers on global trends in economics, business and society

What will the world look like in 2050? How will complex forces of change – demography, the environment, finance, technology and ideas about governance – affect our global society? And how, with so many unknowns, should we think about the future?

One of Europe’s foremost voices on global trends in economics, business and society, Hamish McRae takes us on an exhilarating journey through the next thirty years. Drawing on decades of research, and combining economic judgement with historical perspective, Hamish weighs up the opportunities and dangers we face, analysing the economic tectonic plates of the past and present in order to help us chart a map of the future.

A bold and vital vision of our planet, The World in 2050 is an essential projection for anyone worried about what the future holds. For if we understand how our world is changing, we will be in a better position to secure our future in the decades to come.

Optimism but realism

This will be an interesting book to look back on in 2050 see how much he got right but you could at least be assured he’s working from a solid foundation of both real and theoretical principles

climate change propaganda

The author thinks Greta Thunberg ideas will shape the future in 30 years. I don't know what else needs to be said after that. I had to return the book it was such nonsense.
