Ours is the most dynamic era in human history. The benefits of four centuries of        technological and organizational change are at last reaching a previously excluded        global majority. This transformation will create large-scale opportunities in richer        countries like the United States just as it has in poorer countries now in the        ascent.In The Coming Prosperity, Philip E. Auerswald argues that it is time to        overcome the outdated narratives of fear that dominate public discourse and to grasp        the powerful momentum of progress. Acknowledging the gravity of today's greatest        global challenges--like climate change, water scarcity, and rapid        urbanization--Auerswald emphasizes that the choices we make today will determine the        extent and reach of the coming prosperity. To make the most of this epochal        transition, he writes, the key is entrepreneurship. Entrepreneurs introduce new        products and services, expand the range of global knowledge networks, and, most        importantly, challenge established business interests, maintaining the vitality of        mature capitalist economies and enhancing the viability of emerging ones. Auerswald        frames narratives of inspiring entrepreneurs within the sweep of human history. The        book's deft analysis of economic trends is enlivened by stories of entrepreneurs        making an outsize difference in their communities and the world--people like Karim        Khoja, who led the creation of the first mobile phone company in Afghanistan; Leila        Janah, who is bringing digital-age opportunity to talented people trapped in refugee        camps; and Victoria Hale, whose non-profit pharmaceutical company turned an orphan        drug into a cure for black fever.Engagingly written and bracingly realistic about        the prospects of our historical moment, The Coming Prosperity disarms the current        narratives of fear and brings to light the vast new opportunities in the expanding        global economy.
