520    "Shows how humans have brought us to the brink and how 
       humanity can find solutions. I urge people to read with 
       humility and the daring to act." -Harpal Singh, former 
       Chair, Save the Children, India, and former Vice Chair, 
       Save the Children International In conversations with 
       people all over the world, from government officials and 
       business leaders to taxi drivers and schoolteachers, Blair
       Sheppard, global leader for strategy and leadership at 
       PricewaterhouseCoopers, discovered they all had 
       surprisingly similar concerns. In this prescient and 
       pragmatic book, he and his team sum up these concerns in 
       what they call the ADAPT framework: Asymmetry of wealth; 
       Disruption wrought by the unexpected and often problematic
       consequences of technology; Age disparities-stresses 
       caused by very young or very old populations in developed 
       and emerging countries; Populism as a symptom of the 
       breakdown in global and national consensus; and loss of 
       Trust in the institutions that underpin and stabilize 
       society. These concerns are in turn precipitating four 
       crises: a crisis of prosperity, a crisis of technology, a 
       crisis of institutional legitimacy, and a crisis of 
       leadership. Sheppard and his team analyze the complex 
       roots of these crises-but they also offer solutions, 
       albeit often seemingly counterintuitive ones. For example,
       in an era of globalization, we need to place a much 
       greater emphasis on developing self-sustaining local 
       economies. And as technology permeates our lives, we need 
       computer scientists and engineers conversant with 
       sociology and psychology and poets who can code. The 
       authors argue persuasively that we have only a decade to 
       make headway on these problems. But if we tackle them now,
       thoughtfully, imaginatively, creatively, and energetically,
       in ten years we could be looking at a dawn instead of 
       darkness.
