520    "This brilliantly original book dismantles the underlying 
       assumptions that drive the decisions made by companies and
       governments the world over to show that our shared 
       narrative of the global economy is deeply flawed and, if 
       left unexamined, will lead corporations and countries 
       astray, with dire consequences for us all. For the past 
       fifty years or so, the global economy has been run on 
       three big assumptions: that globalization will continue to
       spread; that trade is the engine of growth and 
       development; and that economic power is moving from the 
       West to the East. More recently, it has also been taken as
       a given that our interconnectedness--both physical and 
       digital--will increase without limit. But what if all 
       these assumptions are wrong? What if everything is about 
       to change? Indeed, what if it has already started to 
       change but we just haven't noticed? Increased automation, 
       the advent of additive manufacturing (3D printing, for 
       example), changes in shipping and environmental pressures,
       among other factors, are coming together to create a fast-
       changing global economic landscape in which the rules are 
       being rewritten--at once a challenge and an opportunity 
       for companies and countries"--|cProvided by publisher.
