Questo libro racconta la storia completa delle bolle speculative — economiche, tecnologiche, digitali, umane — e di come, in ogni epoca, l'umanità abbia creduto di aver trovato la scorciatoia verso la ricchezza. Dai tulipani olandesi del 1637 ai Bitcoin, dalle ferrovie vittoriane al Metaverso, dalle case della Florida alle app dell'era mobile, Storia delle corse all'oro segue passo dopo passo il meccanismo eterno dell'euforia e del crollo, mostrando come l'ingegno e l'avidità si travestano ogni volta da progresso.

In How Progress Ends, Carl Benedikt Frey challenges the conventional belief that economic and technological progress is inevitable. For most of human history, stagnation was the norm, and even today progress and prosperity in the world's largest, most advanced economies—the United States and China—have fallen short of expectations. To appreciate why we cannot depend on any AI-fueled great leap forward, Frey offers a remarkable and fascinating journey across the globe, spanning the past 1,000 years, to explain why some societies flourish and others fail in the wake of rapid technological change

During the twentieth century, Vietnam and Poland were both victims not only of devastating wars, but also of socialist planned economies that destroyed whatever war hadn’t already. In 1990, Vietnam was still one of the poorest countries in the world, while Poland was one of the poorest in Europe. But in the three decades since then, both countries have drastically improved their citizens’ standards of living and escaped the vicious cycle of national poverty.

What if everything you hate about the economy could be traced back to one simple flaw? Not inflation. Not wages. Not productivity. Land. For centuries, owning land has meant owning leverage. Not because of what you build on it — but because of where it sits. And while society creates the value of that location, only landlords reap the reward. This book is about the fix.

In this book, Ryan Avent explores how an unswerving confidence in systems of liberal democracy and free market capitalism—which he terms the “Modern Faith”—has left many Western countries struggling to deal with democratic backsliding and social dysfunction. Those seeking the certainty of another technocratic solution, however, are searching in the wrong place. The true foundation of our prosperity, Avent argues, is not in an ability to reason our way to better policies and institutions but rather lies in the nature and distribution of our beliefs.
