Behind today’s headlines, significant megatrends are emerging that will reshape our lives in tremendous ways. The United Nations predicts that humanity will be 800 per cent richer than today by the year 2100, with a projected increase of 300–500 per cent wealth by the 2070s. And we won’t have to worry about extreme weather events if we start allocating two per cent of the annual global GDP to adapt to extreme weather. We must turn today’s ‘Capitalism of Greed’ into ‘Karma Capitalism’, a kind of trickle-down capitalism that is good for everyone—what we call Happytalism or the Happynomy. We should tackle loneliness and anxiety and embrace love in all its varieties.

Fascist Wokism, Climatism and Islamism, as well as global drug cartels, should be eradicated. Theglobal financial and monetary system must be renewed. New currencies, based on gold and other commodities should replace our current economy of debt. Massive innovations will enrich us inthe new multipolar World Order.

The future of work will be hybrid. Innovations like AI, avatars, robots, space mining, deep-seamining, abiotic oil, nuclear energy, thorium power plants, nuclear fusion, along with revolutions infood and health will increase productivity. This could allow for a three-day workweek, granting usmore time for love, sex and friendship. Hypersonic aeroplanes are on the horizon, enabling us tofly from Mumbai to London in two hours.

This exciting future holds the potential for economic and spiritual growth, offering us more freedomthan ever before. This inspirational book explores what the Happynomy might look like and howthe era of #forwardism will unfold.
