In two interwoven trips around the globe-one in 2010 and another in
2030-this book discovers Bogota, Cartagena, Detroit, New York,
Abuja, Cairo, Dammam, Abu Dhabi, Marseille, Hanover, Ho Chi Minh
City, Kuala Lumpur, Shenzhen, Beijing, and other cities along the
way. The people and experiences along the way tell a fascinating,
unique and insightful story. The 2010 trip at the height of
globalization takes place against a backdrop of frenzied global
development. As he travels, the author observes the pronounced
social and environmental footprint of the societies he visits, the
industries that support them, and the people he meets. The 2030
trip, which follows a similar flight path, occurs in a new world.
On this trip the author discovers how governments, businesses and
consumers are aligned around renewable energy, environmental and
aesthetic balance, and respect for self, others, and the planet. A
retrospective, written in 2050, explains how a different way of
thinking about growth and measuring progress enabled the shift to
occur. It explains how the world passed a "tipping point" and
became both prosperous and sustainable. This book is charming and
fun, while laying out a vision for a new era beyond globalization
as we know it. Its inspirational message about the importance of
respecting the planet and our global neighbors while fulfilling our
appetite for growth and wealth will endure.
