In The Raging 2020s, acclaimed author Alec Ross confronts the profound shift in power dynamics where immense corporations increasingly exert influence traditionally held by nations. As global wealth concentrates among billionaires and governments struggle with bureaucratic inertia, Ross argues that the current social contract is failing ordinary citizens. He draws on extensive interviews and global case studies to illuminate the forces reshaping our world and proposes a transformative new framework designed to benefit workers and communities in an era of unprecedented change.
