The Western world has experienced extraordinary economic progress throughout the last
six decades, a prosperous period so extended that continuous economic growth has come to
seem normal. But such an era of continuously rising living standards is an historical
anomaly, economist Stephen D. King warns, and the current stagnation of Western economies
threatens to reach crisis proportions in the not-so-distant future. Praised for the
"dose of realism" he provided in his book "Losing Control", King
follows up in this volume with a plain-spoken assessment of where the West stands today.
It's not just the end of an age of affluence, he shows. We have made promises to ourselves
that are only achievable through ongoing economic expansion.
The future benefits we expect - pensions, healthcare, and social security, for example
- may be larger than tomorrow's resources. And if we reach that point, which promises will
be broken and who will lose out? The lessons of history offer compelling evidence that
political and social upheaval are often born of economic stagnation. King addresses these
lessons with a multifaceted plan that involves painful - but necessary - steps toward a
stable and just economic future. ""When the Money Runs Out"
sets out well the problems facing advanced economies." --David Smith, "The
Sunday Times"--David Smith"The Sunday Times" (12/01/2013)
