Boom or Bust?: Decoding Economic Myths in the 2020s offers a compelling and timely analysis of the forces shaping our modern economy. In an era defined by pandemic recovery, inflation spikes, technological disruption, and geopolitical tension, author Ethan Thompson cuts through the noise to challenge widespread economic myths. Is Big Tech really the sole driver of growth? Can government intervention prevent economic downturns? Will innovation eliminate boom-bust cycles altogether?
Drawing on historical case studies, macroeconomic data, and real-world events-from the 2008 financial crisis to post-COVID policy responses-Thompson examines the complex interplay between inflation, trade, technological change, and global cooperation. He dismantles the illusion of permanent prosperity and explores the systemic factors that make boom-bust cycles not only inevitable but increasingly multifaceted in a globalized, digitized world.
This book is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the true drivers of economic resilience and fragility in the 2020s. Whether you're an investor, policymaker, entrepreneur, or informed citizen, Boom or Bust? delivers clear-eyed insights to help you navigate a turbulent financial landscape with greater confidence and clarity.
