Any books on the future of business/economics from a global standpoint.
Les Prophéties
The problem with asking this question is economic thinking is full of dogmas. It is in reality an art and not a science. It’s like politics in that way. So you could start with Aristotle and the ancient economists, which is probably a good idea. Most people subscribe to this or that theory about economics or this or that method and while none of them are unfalsifiable, they’re falsifiable in ways that are non-obvious or far off in the future. So there are plenty of books on the basics that are pretty much objective, but even there people push narratives. When I was an undergraduate, we read Mankiw, and I think undergraduates are still reading Mankiw. Thomas Sowell and Thomas Piketty are popular online. Henry Hazlitt’s Economics in One Lesson is commonly prescribed. I could give you my personal views on economics, but I’m sure you don’t care about those so much. I’m sure others will do it anyway.
I don't care about textbooks that much. I would rather read someone with a personal view on what is happening and where things are going.
I’m a graduate economics drop out with Wall Street experience. My economic views are like 80% what you can read on the Wikipedia for ZeroHedge.
Isn't zerohedge just constant doomporn
It is mostly doom porn, but that’s because the views of the site runners depart drastically from the orthodoxy of central banks and states currently. Basically, the site believes central banks are doing all the wrong things and states allow big banks to get away with financial murder.
God Austrians are boring
I’m not an Austrian, but Keynesians and MMT dorks just carry water for central bankers so what is your point. Economics done properly is supposed to be boring.
It used to be they are actually normie bullish a lot now with zionist conservative boomer takes
Like what? I don’t really read since it became a run-of-the-mill news aggregator. It used to host a lot more essays on economics that it seems to currently. When I think of boomer economic takes I think “Warren Buffett good. Social security good. Bitcoin going to zero.” That’s not ZH.
they call for market meltups more than meltdowns now. of course that has been the right call. they used to be obsessing about bubbles and peter schiff and shit
I mean, they were right about bubbles. As for Schiff, I mean he’s one of the biggest names in dissident finance. The views of contributors aren’t necessarily the views of the site creators.
If you check the Wikipedia, you’ll a manifesto laying out basic views about monetary and fiscal policy, which are what you’re probably really interested in.
No im not interested in basic textbook views or theory. Is OP really that hard to read?
Just read the Wikipedia. Or don’t.
What is predictive on wikipedia about future trends? Nothing. The only suggestion in this thread is a fricking Lenin book lol
If you actually read the Wikipedia on ZeroHedge, as prescribed, and the Lenin book, you’d see clearly that they square perfectly with each other. The manifesto section outlines the details of something like Lenin’s financialization, which by the way, has clearly already occurred. You want to get rich or something? The money is in having money. There’s your prediction for the future.
Yes everyone and their mother knows financialization already occurred what's your point? What else that already occurred will you tell me about?
Could you be any more vague? The most valuable export in Western economies is capital, the most inelastic commodities are oil and missiles, capital markets are a bubble manipulated by central bankers for the purpose of state control and bank profit, it’s a zombie economy where assets are inflated and cash flow is sourced mainly from investment (per valuations) and debt finance, commodity production is a race to the lowest productive wage possible, if you want to be rich, the single best thing you could be is a private equity investor trading businesses like they’re Pokemon cards with other private equity investors. I don’t know. You have not asked a specific question at all so it’s impossible to give you a precise answer. Again, economics is an art like politics (Aristotle). Your question is like asking “what (politically) has already occurred”. A lot, bro. A lot has already occurred.
No my question isn't like "what already occurred". It's about the future and present (notice the two terms used in OP "future" and "presently"). I intentionally let it open-ended so people can suggest a variety of books they find interesting, because the future tends to be open-ended.
I'm sorry not to have an actual title to recommend, but if you don't have any idea where to start I can at least suggest reading some works from modern thinkers more in the vein of the Austrian school, and pair those with their opposite Klaus Schwab's The Great Reset, or various institutional economists. Reading papers these global institutions publish or listening to their talks will give some sense of what they would like to do going forward, but that's advice only for a complete novice (which I do not know that you are).
Lenin's Imperialism the Highest Stage of Capitalism is still extremely relevant today, must read for anyone to understand global economics. Read it.
Is this the one where he describes financialization?
Yea
>Lenin's Imperialism the Highest Stage of Capitalism is still extremely relevant today
It was shit when published and shit today. Lenin's meaningful contributions aren't this. Wallerstein's taking Lenin's thesis and actually demonstrating it is interesting. Fricksake trot, read.
Economics can describe and analyze economies about as much as astrology can describe and analyze black holes.

Unironically
Anyone who claims to know that is lying. You may as well ask where to find a unicorn.
