Technological advances are happening at a rate faster than our ability to understand them, and in a world that moves faster than we can imagine, we cannot afford to stand still. These advances bring efficiency and abundance - and they are profoundly deflationary. Our economic systems were built for a pre-technology era when labor and capital were inextricably linked - an era that counted on growth and inflation and an era where we made money from inefficiency.

Zygmunt Bauman Dictionary is a precise and accessible guide to the key concepts that shape Bauman’s analysis of modern life: liquid modernity, consumer society, moral blindness, precarity, fear, exclusion, identity, responsibility, surveillance, and many more.

Across the developed world, birth rates are collapsing, families are shrinking, and entire societies are aging into silence. This is not a temporary crisis, nor an economic anomaly. It is something deeper, quieter, and far more unsettling. In “The Unborne World”, Isaac Volpe delivers a powerful and unflinching analysis of the demographic, cultural, and psychological forces behind the greatest transformation of our time: a civilization that is slowly choosing not to reproduce itself.

Within this book are proven methods to release you from the madness. Ideas that will expand your thinking in ways that will set you up to win. Formulas that work for everyone.
