Long before SARS-CoV-2 emerged, humanity was already facing a
challenging economic moment, with human jobs going to automation,
AI, and machines for efficiencies. In the downward slope of the
pandemic, a large percentages of the world's population was without
work, and many are still in isolation and social distancing for
bio-safety and health. This book explores how people in their
respective localities (developed and less developed spaces) are
adapting for a new economy through new understandings of the world
and concomitant reconceptualizations of the self. There are the
efforts at self-learning, retraining, apprenticeships, gig work,
and higher education and intensifications of hobbyist skills. This
work also explores how people are re-branding themselves for the
new economy. There are applications of extreme measures for
survival in a job-scarce zero-sum environment and if it is true
that crisis brings out opportunities, this is a highly opportune
moment for humanity to redefine and move forward. This book
explores the present moment with tens of millions of people around
the world who are unemployed and/or under-employed and who need to
meet basic survival needs in a time of high disruption. While
people try to sort out issues at the macro- and meso- levels,
people are responsible for their own well-being and need to engage
in new thinking, revisioning who they are and what they are capable
of, and they need to acquire new knowledge, skills and abilities
(KSAs) to adapt. This book addresses how people are thinking of the
present moment and the near-future, how people are surviving the
present moment of sparsity and shortages, and how people are
retooling themselves to adapt to a new economy.
