I have some bad news and some good news for you about the future. First, the bad news. The future is not coming at us any faster than it ever has. We will not become immortal cyborgs with superintelligent computer friends in the next twenty years.

"When economists tackle small problems, they lose any vision about what the economic system should look like."

Economics professors Backhouse and Bateman make the case for a new breed of economists with a big-picture vision instead of a "dentristy" approach to economics.

"We clearly need a new, alternative vision of capitalism. But thanks to decades of academic training in the “dentistry” approach to economics, today’s Keynes or Friedman is nowhere to be found."
