Summary:
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.
Review:
Firstly thank you to Literally PR, Otterpine and Arunjay Katakam for having me on this tour and sending me a copy of the book.
So I wanted to read this book because it seemed like a really good way to understand the economic situation we currently find ourselves in, something which I often feel either goes straight over my head or leaves me feeling like I'm stupid. I've definitely come away from reading this having taken in a good chunk of the book but I think it is the kind of book that requires multiple readings to take it all in, and my second reading will be the sections that I felt I didn't quite take in for whatever reason. It is a very heavy subject and even though Arunjay has definitely made it more accessible with his writing style it is a dense subject to tackle. But I didn't feel like I needed a degree in economics to understand it, I actually for once with this subject matter I didn't come away feeling stupid. It definitely broadened my mind when it comes to this subject and I think with another read I'll come away feeling confident in it.
As I said Arunjay's writing style is so accessible and he's broken a difficult subject into easy-to-digest sections, which means you can easily pick out the parts you want to find out more about.
