The Future Economy: technocracy, disparity, and other hypotheses to test

After an energetic kickoff, we shall continue discussions!

Economic trends are complex to understand and predict. How can we wrap our heads around the most important ideas?

In this meetup, we'll start to examine specific "trends" or "hypotheses" from the "Hypotheses To Test" discussion board. Add your hypotheses here: https://www.meetup.com/Future-Economy/messages/boards/thread/50055532/#129515556

I seeded the board by extracting predictions made by the historian Yuval Harari (author of “Sapiens”) in a provocative interview with psychologist Daniel Kahneman.

Onward towards a more precise and predictive understanding of the future economy!

What is this group about?
How will technology and science sculpt the society and economy of the future?
How can we develop new ways of organizing human activity? What ideas really matter for understanding the future economy. What can researchers, entrepreneurs, policy designers, scientists, developers, and others do about them? If you've enjoyed reading works such as:

• Peter Thiel's "Zero to One"
• Tyler Cowen's "The Great Stagnation"
• the "RibbonFarm" blog

we can discuss a cluster of related ideas. Message me with any suggestions for events and discussion topics!
