THRIVING AT NATURE'S PACE

This book is an inspirational invitation to use climate change as a unique opportunity to reinvent money and remake investments. It is for young people and young professionals wanting to thrive in a climate-changing world.

The author spares no punches in pointing out the failures of the climate orthodoxy. The economics it operates under is fundamentally wrong. The future for young people and young professionals lies in leapfrogging over conventional wisdom, and this book details how they can do this with Nature's own economy as a guide. The result is emergent economics.

The author writes with the experience of a successful investment career spanning over four decades making money for Big Money. The proposals are practical and tangible. They are recipes for investors, businesses, and entrepreneurs.
