The Next 20 Years Will Be Completely Different From The Past
Current global trends are bleak: weak economic growth, too much debt, declining incomes for the lower 99%, a dangerous addiction to fossil fuels, and ecological destruction — just to name a few. Many of us
understandably feel resigned to an eroding standard of living in the years to come. At best.
But what if we told you that there are specific, attainable steps you can take today that can limit your vulnerability to these trends and help you be:
— Richer
— Live with greater purpose
— Healthier
— More valued by others
— Happier
— Safer from harm
That’s exactly what Prosper! offers: a blueprint for taking control of and improving your destiny. It outlines practical, actionable investments of your time & resources that will ensure you enjoy greater prosperity in your
life, whatever the future may bring.
In Prosper!, Martenson and Taggart will explain:
— The trends mostly likely to shape your life over the next 20 years
— Why developing resilience offers your best chance for thriving, even though society may suffer from the changes these trends may bring

    Meanwhile, the majority of the world’s agricultural soils have been so horribly degraded by industrial farming practices -stripped of both micro and macro nutrients - that many of the world’s farmlands now need a continuous supply of chemical fertilizers just so plants can still grow. Rich soil has been turned into worthless dirt.

      At some point relatively soon, probably before 2025, global oil supplies will peak, which means the most important driver of the global economy over the past 120 years will fade away. Energy is the economy. And oil is the most important source of energy. As it disappears, so will much of the world’s prosperity

        current global population of 7.4 billion will to expand to 9 or even 10 billion by 2050, requiring vast additional amounts of food, fresh water, and mineral resources. Remember the number “10.” For every 1-calorie of food you eat, there are 10 calories of fossil fuels invisibly subsidizing it. We are literally eating fossil fuels, which are due to peak at some point in the not-too-distant future.
        A responsible civilization would be focused on that fact with laser precision, and have in place an alternative plan for feeding itself in the future.
