Author of national bestseller Life After Google and
generation-defining Wealth and Poverty, venture capitalist,
futurist, and pioneering thinker extraordinaire George Gilder
pinpoints how the clash of creativity with power at the heart of
economic systems leads to global cognitive dissonance and argues
that the creation of the novel taps capitalism's infinite promise
and is humanity's only path of escape from stagnation and
tyranny. Gilder once more rocks the archetypes of modern
information theory and economics with a paradigm-shifting salvo of
sheer brilliance. The capitalist era is over—get ready for life
after capitalism. For more than two hundred years, capitalism
spread wealth around the globe, bringing unprecedented prosperity
and progress, liberating human potential. But something has gone
terribly wrong in the world economy. Creativity and faith in the
future—capitalism’s crucial ingredients—seem to have run out.
The elites think they can maintain a nation’s wealth by printing
money and investing it in favored industries. Their trust in
bureaucratic experts, their cautionary paranoia, and their
delusional belief that they can “control” everything from the
spread of a virus to the weather, are sucking the life out of the
economy. Ordinary people, their freedoms restricted, their
prospects dim, are losing their faith in their institutions. Such
misguided corporatism and pride, confusion and despair, are the
result of a deep misunderstanding of capitalism itself. The
bestselling futurist and venture capitalist George Gilder explains
why economics is not an incentive system to be manipulated but an
information system to be freed. Material resources are essentially
as plentiful as the atoms of the universe. What drives economic
growth in a free market is our limitless human ingenuity and
creativity. Prophetic, inspiring, and paradigm-shifting, Life after
Capitalism is a once-in- a-generation classic.
