Futuro, ¿qué futuro?

What is the economic and social future that awaits us on the day that covid-19 is just a memory? What can pensioners, entrepreneurs, young people and children expect? What are the keys to surviving beyond the pandemic? These pressing questions are answered by the new book by the author of The Crash of 2010, a work that made him instantly popular due to its successes and its great informative and communicative capacity. Santiago Niño-Becerra was one of the first world economists to warn that a crisis with systemic characteristics comparable to the crash of 1929 was approaching. Now in Future, what future? does a comparable long-term forecasting exercise. Drawing on the best projection studies from the OECD and other prestigious think tanks, Niño-Becerra dares to draw conclusions. Very notable changes await us, very serious for the citizenry. The world economy and the lives of companies and workers will be determined by technological advances that can replace people and by the excessive growth of oligopolies. This will bring unthinkable consequences: the end of the idea that a job is for life and the fact that large corporations will not only generate more GDP, but will also have more power than many States and will even absorb sectors such as the banking by becoming global financial operators themselves. This book is a serious warning. And his reading, a necessity.
