The New Economy – What to do with Seven Billion Spare Humans: How AI Reshapes Business, Work, and What It Means to Be Human

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

What happens when seven billion people are no longer needed to keep the economy running?

That's not a dystopian premise. It's a question we'll answer within our lifetimes, and the answer isn't what most people expect.

The prevailing narrative says AI will make big companies bigger and everyone else irrelevant. That a handful of megacorporations will own everything, optimize everything, and reduce the rest of us to spectators in our own economic lives.

This book argues the opposite.

Written by a business strategist and a technologist who spent years watching the same problem from different sides, The New Economy examines what artificial intelligence actually does to the relationship between scale and capability, and why the implications are far more hopeful, and far more radical, than the headlines suggest.

Part business strategy, part economic philosophy, and part practical blueprint, this book is for every small business owner, entrepreneur, and working professional who senses that something fundamental is shifting and wants to be on the right side of that shift.

Inside, you'll discover why the age of corporate consolidation may be approaching its ceiling, how AI is quietly redistributing power rather than concentrating it, what the 'Half-CEO' model means for how you'll run your business in three years, and why the most successful companies of the next decade won't be the most automated, they'll be the most intentionally human.

The tools are here. The only question is what we choose to build with them.
