Praise for the book:
"Upbeat but clear-eyed about the challenges of climate change, wealth inequality, and an increasingly “feudal” economy...this impassioned call for change...urges readers toward a shift in mindsets about money, regulation, and our connectedness to others."
-
"Hope stems from the actions we take." Love this line from Generation Hope, which not only shows how we got to a world of economic instability, inequality and climate crisis, but also how to create a system that’s more inclusive and sustainable.
- Ariana Huffington, CEO of Thrive Global and Author of Thrive
"I’m a believer in the need to cultivate hard-edged hope. This book asks all of us to do what we can in a world that needs every single one of us. And that matters."
- Jacqueline Novogratz, Author of The Blue Sweater and Manifesto for a Moral Revolution
"We're in the middle of a seismic shift in our culture and the commerce that supports it (and vice versa). Arunjay's thoughtful book is a roadmap for what's next."
- Seth Godin, Author of The Song of Significance, Tribes, Purple Cow and Linchpin
"A generation of hope is what we need urgently. Here is a book helping ensure the next one proves precisely that."
- Yanis Varoufalkis, Author of Technofeudalism, Another Now and Adults in the Room
"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
About the book
It has become clear: Our current economic system is broken. Growth at all costs is unsustainable.
It is 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 insure 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.
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.
