by John Kinsley | Legal and financial planner specialising in retirement forecasting |
“In a postindustrial society like the United States, the values of services of innovation and information have dramatically increased while the number of manufacturing workers needed to produce goods have greatly reduced due to sharply higher labour productivity. Today, even many developing nations such as China, are also losing manufacturing jobs due to rising productivity from improving technology, a better educated labour force, and the widespread use of robots“. Chen Zhao, Brandywine Global, Around the Curve Research, December 2016
John Kinsley has written a book that presents two macro-economic challenges facing the world today.
There are two broad economic challenges facing economies around the world today: the one is ageing demographics (particularly in established economies) and the other is inequality.
These two challenges may initially appear unrelated, but this book will argue that as much of the existing wealth resides in older generational groupings, the prevailing inequality may only get worse before it gets any better.
The differences between the ‘developed world’ and the ‘new developing world’ in the face of these challenges will also be explored, as well as what this means for South Africa today.
