We're F*cked: Realizing potential, not maximizing wealth, military power, or social control is how we'll survive this century

By Peter Nixon and Peter Nixon FCPA

Before the pandemic forced Canadian author, speaker, and international negotiation consultant, Peter Nixon, to lock down in Hong Kong, he spent most weeks during the last 20 years in dialogue with thousands of leaders from hundreds of organisations in nearly 60 countries worldwide. This unique experience convinced Nixon our current economic, political, and environmental dysfunction was evidence that a new direction is needed to continue to thrive on earth throughout the 21st Century. Offered as an upgrade to the flawed 16th and 17th century economic policies of Adam Smith and Karl Marx, Nixon offers Potentialism as the 21st century solution to the age-old conflict between individual rights and collective responsibilities. Potentialism requires leaders to dialogue and partner with others to maximize potential instead of maximizing shareholder wealth or or government control. Potentialism is based on the Nobel Prize winning economics of Professor John Nash, made famous in the Ron Howard film, A Beautiful Mind. In this timely book, Nixon reminds us to focus on potential while treating the environment as a key stakeholder in all our dialogues, and then jump the hurdles holding us back from achieving optimal outcomes in the world today.
