Don't ask, "Who's gonna eat our lunch?"Ask instead, "Who else's lunch can we eat?"Anarchy is coming. Decentralization is accelerating, and technology is facilitating the trend. Nobody trusts traditional institutions or authority figures anymore. Bitcoin, open source, Uber, social media, and the Arab Spring are all examples of anarchy in action. Tomorrow's leaders need to understand these trends if they wish to thrive in a decentralized world.Washington University estimates that 40% of Fortune 500 companies will no longer exist in ten years. That represents an enormous threat to existing corporations, but it's an even bigger opportunity for those companies who are poised to take their place. When faced with disruptive innovation, most companies and their executives default to a defensive posture. That's the wrong approach. Stay on offense and learn to thrive amidst anarchy!About the Author:Patrick Schwerdtfeger is a business futurist specializing in technology trends including big data, artificial intelligence and blockchain.

Simply put, this book is about my personal ideas in economics. It's about lessons learned from my father, J. Paul Getty, as well as my own experiences. I love the free market and the chance to prove ideas, and the fact that innovation is changing the world as we know it.While science tends to predict the rule from the data, philosophy tends to reverse the direction. The bottom-up scientific method doesn't get far in economics because market data reveal little about human capital, which is some two-thirds to four-fifths of all capital in most judgments including mine, beyond its rental cost in pay. The best economics can do is feel its way in the dark from assumption to prediction, as a rule, and then look for ways to scrape together enough market data for a test.This book covers my personal theories about the following topics: Bank Devolution Depreciation Theory Free Growth Theory Inflation-Protected Dollars (DIPS) Market Money Next Generation Theory Depreciation Recovery Rule Risk Theory Output Rule Pay Rule As you read this book, you may or may not agree with me, and that's okay by me. But perhaps you will discover a new perspective on an old theory.
