The Next Great Recession: We Aren't Ready - Paperback

by Vanida Plamondon (Author)

The world is shifting under our feet. In The Next Great Recession: We Aren't Ready, the pieces come together in a way that's hard to ignore. Automation is accelerating. AI tools are changing industries overnight. Tariffs are reshaping global trade. And while all this is happening, average people are left wondering why everything keeps getting harder.

This book walks through the interconnected forces pushing the global economy toward a cliff. It draws from economic history, labor data, and technology trends, looking at how governments, corporations, and central banks are reacting to the growing crisis. Spoiler: they're not reacting fast enough, and in some cases, they're making it worse.

As industries automate and supply chains tighten, jobs disappear faster than anyone can create new ones. Even the sectors people once thought safe, healthcare, retail, education, are being hollowed out or restructured to need fewer workers. Meanwhile, wages stagnate, costs rise, and wealth piles up at the top.

This isn't a warning about a far-off future. It's a map of what's already happening and what's about to accelerate. The Next Great Recession: We Aren't Ready doesn't just ask whether we're ready. It shows in detail why we're not.
