The doomers are winning. Or so it seems. Between the turbulent decades behind us, the broligarchy digging luxury bunkers in New Zealand and the relentless churn of our news feeds, optimism can feel like a form of delusion.
Will Hobbs disagrees and this book is his attempt to argue that things are, in fact, going to be alright.
Drawing on over two decades in investment management and a career spent watching forecasters and assorted soothsayers get the future spectacularly wrong, Will makes the case that the pessimism so fashionable in society is not only unfounded, it's nothing new. What is new is that we now have two centuries of evidence proving it wrong.
Part history deep-dive, part polemic, part investor's guide, Everything is Going to Be Alright is an irreverent, deeply researched and ultimately hopeful argument for the one thing the modern world seems determined to deny us: a reason to feel good about what comes next.
