[Nada Renno]

Though the economic cycle has its basic pattern from the beginning, it is good to get renewable economic culture and self-education in this world. This is a book for every human.

“Past, Present and Future, an Economic Perspective” by David Rajan chronicles the factors that have moved humanity’s social structures. The author used simple examples to explain how the economy works. Families want to succeed and achieve more than their parents accomplished. This is part of the American Dream. The hunter-gatherer era that existed before economies and basically was self-sustenance as families moved west across America. As the country was populated from coast to coast the focus changed because families no longer had to do everything for themselves. Economies were developed and changed from bartering to building businesses to meet consumer needs via a communal economy. I found the explanation of how religion was so important in the social economy, and it changed in the market economy. The data economy has evolved from the market economy and believing in a separation between church and state religion should not be a key component in the future economies. The role the Evangelicals have played in politics has polarized Americans and needs to be changed. Being a devout Catholic I truly believe in God but I also know that God does not get involved in driving our economies. We have free will to make decisions and this includes developing economies that are good for all Americans, not just the rich. Sadly, the polarization between the rich and the poor will lead to social unrest and potential civil war. It does not have to go there. A very good read that I highly recommend.

"Sustainxiety", the concern for future sustenance, is a concept introduced in this book and it is uniquely human. Unlike the animals who forage for food on a daily basis, humans go to work each day to secure their food, not just for their immediate needs, but for their future use as well. This innate desire, the reviewer says, propels us to new economic models--this desire plus a trigger, such as the discovery of the relationship between plant and seeds. All the triggers that brought us from the non-existent economy of the hunter-gatherer era to the emerging data economy today are explored in this book.

Great review. It makes a textbook subject sound like an enjoyable read.

I found the review of *Past, Present, and Future, an Economic Perspective* to be quite insightful. The way the book explores the transitions between different economic models, from the hunter-gatherer period to the emerging data economy, seems not only educational but also thought-provoking. I appreciate how the review highlights that the author examines these shifts through the lens of "triggers," which offer a new perspective on economic progression. The connection between economic models and societal changes, including shifts in religion and social inequality, intrigues me. It seems the book goes beyond just economic theory and ties into broader cultural shifts, which is something I’d be interested in learning more about, especially with AI and data technology now driving modern economies. Additionally, the reviewer’s mention of visualizations in the book sounds like a great way to help readers grasp complex economic concepts. Overall, this review has piqued my curiosity, and I might explore this book further to better understand the forces that have shaped our current economy and the direction it’s heading.

Past, present and Future, and Economic Perspective by David Rajan tackles or rather discusses factors that have led humanity from one social structure to the next, from hunter gatherer to modern civil societies.
