Ride the Wave: Take Control in the Acceleration Age: Take Control in the Acceleration Age

Ride the Wave: Take Control in the Acceleration Age: Take Control in the Acceleration Age

by Sherry Cooper

ft.com | August 2, 2001 | Hardcover

Understand the real trends and forces that are revolutionizing the global economy.

  • The powerful demographic and genderrelated forces shaping tomorrow's economy.
  • The NASDAQ bubble: what's next?
  • Technological advances other than the Internet that will transform your investment, career, and business prospects.
A new economic and social system is taking form and, as with any revolution, changes are hectic, full of surprises, upsets, reversals, and instabilities. In this book, worldrenowned economic analyst Sherry Cooper provides the tools and insights you need to succeed in times that will only get wilder. Well known for her appearances on CNN, CNBC, and CBS, Cooper makes sense of the "macrolevel" trends that are shaping tomorrow's economy, regardless of shortterm market swings. The pace of change is accelerating, and the gyrations in the economy and financial markets are unnerving. Why are these events happening? What do they mean for your future? Cooper brings global sweep and longterm perspective to the causes and effects that really matter. You'll learn how massive demographic and sociopolitical change is likely to impact tomorrow's global economy. She identifies looming technological changes other than the Internet that may have revolutionary investment and career implications. She explains the true implications and causes of shortterm events such as the NASDAQ bubble; even projects the role of the United States in tomorrow's global economy. If you want to make sense of transformative change, Ride the Wave gives you the tools. For all business leaders, managers, and individuals who want to understand the forces that are driving massive change in the global economy and the world's business culture.

Sherry Cooper is Chief Economist at BMO Nesbitt Burns, and Global Economist Strategist for the Bank of Montreal in Toronto and the Harris Bank in Chicago. The most widely quoted economist in Canada, she has a significant global following. Dr. Cooper gives more than 200 speeches annually, is a former member of the Barron's Economic Roundtable, writes in biweekly column for the National Post, and makes regular appearances on CNN, CNBC, CBS, and CTV.
