Review of Past, Present and Future, an Economic Perspective

[Shirley Ann Riddern Labzentis]

Great review. I'm glad that you enjoyed the book. Economics is one that I've always had trouble with. Maybe after I read this book, I will have a better understanding of it.

[Elizabeth Humberstone]

I find future predictions that concern AI very interesting. I haven't yet read about how AI will affect the economy.

David Rajan explores the evolution of economies from ancient times to the modern Data Economy. It introduces the concept of “sustainxiety,” the anxiety about future sustenance, as a key driver of economic development. The book also discusses the potential impacts of AI and data ownership on our future.

The book likely delves into the interplay between economic dynamics, technological advancements, and social systems throughout different periods in history. By examining this progression, readers may gain a deeper understanding of how economic forces have shaped the development of human civilization over time.

Overall, "Past, Present and Future, an Economic Perspective" sounds like an intriguing read for those interested in exploring the connections between economics, history, and societal progress. If you are fascinated by the evolution of human societies through an economic lens, this book may offer valuable insights and perspectives on the subject.

It is important to look back in time. Studying history, especially the history of money can help us all learn from past civilizations. What did they do wrong that we can correct, or, have corrected in our current economies? What can we learn from them to fix our own?

'Official Review: Past, Present, and Future, an Economic Perspective' by David Rajan sums up the reading content for readers. It provides a brief background related to our economy. We will explore the triggers that led to the transition from the communal economy to the social economy, the social economy to the market economy, and now from the market economy to the data economy. Readers will also enjoy the changes in perceptions of religion and philosophy and their role in future economies. It was great to learn that the author's use of visualizations to show us the intricate economic dynamics between the entities in the various economies was enjoyable!

Wow! This is a proof that what makes a good book is not the number of pages it contains but the usefulness of the information it entails.
Here we have an eye opener into the ancient economic era running down to the data economic era as rightly stated by the author, I believe this knowledge is instrumental in business growth, to knowing the keys of what determines the economic system and the causes of change in the same.

If the world changes, everything changes, human changes, economy changes then this book is a must read because this present economy is not immune from change.
Regards.

I believe that humanity has evolved to the point where general economic policies should be reviewed. This book is power-packed with real issues relevant to today's society. This is a great recommendation. Congratulations on BOTD.

The book explores a new perspective on the society we live in today. It offers insights and information about how economies have evolved from the ancient to modern economy. The future with the rise of AI and data economy will reshape our world. The book is definitely educative.though it sounds very complicated to me. Thank you for sharing your thoughtful review.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting self-help book designed to assist readers in understanding economies of the past and present to predict the economies of the future. It might be worth a second look. Well done.

Oh yes, Your review of Past, Present and Future, an Economic Perspective resonates with me, as I also found the exploration of triggers—those key moments in history that propelled humanity into new economic models—particularly thought-provoking. The way the book traces the shift from communal to market economies deepened my understanding of how our current financial systems came to be. Like you, I appreciated the discussions around the social economy and how it laid the groundwork for much of the social inequality and legislative frameworks we see today. The author's insights into the upcoming data economy, especially in relation to AI and data technology, feel incredibly timely given how fast our world is shifting. I also valued the visual aids that helped illustrate these complex transitions, making the historical and economic analysis much easier to grasp. This is definitely a book that offers a lot to reflect on, and I’m glad you highlighted its educational value!

[Gladis Ratish Kumar]

The review provided valuable insights. The book appears fascinating, especially with its exploration of the transition between different economic systems, from ancient times to the modern era. I'm excited to dive in and discover what insights the author provides.

[Christina Holtzclaw]

It’s fascinating to explore the evolution of economic systems and how they’ve shaped our current world. This review is excellent and will likely encourage others to pick up the book too.

[Misael Carlos]

This book seems to be very informative and enlightening regarding economy around the world, what triggered the changes in the form or structure of a country’s economy. I commend the author for sharing knowledge and research on this concept.

[Stephen Christopher 1]

I, too, would be interested in learning about ancient economies and the future of the data economy. What a fascinating book this seems to be. Your 5/5 rating makes me even more inclined to read it.
