Jeff Booth
The Price of Tomorrow is a book by entrepreneur and technology investor Jeff Booth that argues that deflation - or the decrease in the value of goods and services over time - is the key to a more abundant and prosperous future. Booth believes that while people have been conditioned to expect inflation as a normal part of economic growth, technology and globalization are driving deflationary forces that will have far-reaching implications for society.
Booth argues that deflation will lead to a reduction in the cost of goods and services, leading to increased productivity, innovation, and collaboration. He argues that, as technologies like robotics, artificial intelligence, and the internet of things continue to develop and spread, efficiency and productivity gains will become more common, driving down costs and increasing abundance.
Booth acknowledges that deflation can create short-term challenges, such as higher unemployment and slower economic growth. However, he believes that these challenges can be addressed through policy changes and shifts in thinking. He argues that governments should embrace deflation and work to create a more flexible, decentralized economy that can adapt to changing market conditions.
The Price of Tomorrow has been praised for its thought-provoking analysis of the potential impact of deflation on the economy and society. While some critics have questioned Booth's predictions, the book has sparked important discussions about the future of the global economy and the role of technology in shaping it.
