About this item
The New York Times bestselling author and entrepreneur investigates what would happen if a new financial world order took hold, one in which global elites own everything and you own nothing - and yet you are somehow happy.When Carol Roth first heard that one of the World Economic Forum's predictions for 2030 was "You will own nothing, and be happy," she thought it was an outlandish fantasy. Then, she researched it. What she found was that a number of businesses, governments, and global elites share a vision of a future that sounds utopian: Everyone will have everything they need, and no one will own anything.From declines in home and vehicle ownership to global inflation and government spending, many of the trends of modern life reveal that a new world that is emerging - one in which Western citizens, by choice or by circumstance, increasingly do not own possessions or accumulate wealth.
