I primi ad accorgersi che qualcosa è cambiato sono i commessi dei negozi: quel giorno stanno clamorosamente mancando gli obiettivi di vendita. Poche ore dopo i responsabili di zona mandano resoconti preoccupati ai loro capi. Il giorno successivo gli addetti ai magazzini dei maggiori siti di shopping online vedono i loro ritmi frenetici rallentare. Nel giro di pochi giorni il colore del cielo cambia con il calare delle emissioni di anidride carbonica. Il mondo ha smesso di comprare: non è l’inizio di un romanzo distopico; è l’unica cosa che può salvare noi e la Terra.

Tehnologia evoluează într‑un ritm exponențial, spune Azeem Azhar, iar noi nu ne vom putea adapta decât dacă ne însușim un ritm progresiv mai lent. Rezultatul? Un „decalaj exponențial“ între puterea noii tehnologii și capacitatea noastră de a ține pasul cu ea. Azhar explică prin decalajul exponențial unele dintre cele mai presante dificultăți ale societății în care trăim: de la inerția afacerilor în a implementa digitalizarea până la reacția sclerozată a democrațiilor liberale în fața avântului problemelor sociale. Cum trebuie întâmpinată această tendință care ne erodează economia, politica și viața?

More than two thousand years ago, a group of philosophers known as the Stoics analyzed life's predicaments and came up with simple solutions. The principles they identified were so profound that they formed the basis of many major modern psychotherapies. They are easy to use and powerful, and they can be applied to modern life and its problems. Often we don't pay much attention to simple principles because we don't believe simple things can be effective, but when understood and consistently practiced, simple principles can have a profound effect on our lives.

Looking at how Britain pays its way in the world today. Like Andrew Marr’s History of Modern Britain or Michael Palin’s Himalaya, the book will have a coherence and life beyond the television series, looking at some issues in greater depth, and telling additional stories to illustrate some of the ideas. This book is about the things that Britain produces in order to pay its way in the world, from physical goods that we can see and feel, to intangible services that are much harder to quantify.

Alan Krueger, the former chairman of the president's Council of Economic Advisers, uses the music industry as a way in to explain the principles of economics and the forces shaping our economic lives. As economists recognise, the music industry is often a leading indicator of today's economy; it is among the first to be disrupted by the latest wave of technology, and examining the ins and outs of how musicians create and sell new songs and plan concert tours offers valuable lessons for what is in store for businesses and employees in other industries that are struggling to adapt.
