The Future Isn’t a Threat—It’s an Opportunity. Read the book Forwardism.

With projections that global wealth could rise by 800% before 2100, #Forwardism reframes the future as a source of abundance—not anxiety. From climate resilience to economic reinvention, the authors argue that if we act now, we can build a better, freer world.

Happynomy: A New Kind of Economy

Forget capitalism as we know it. #Forwardism introduces Happynomy—a compassionate economy that prioritises wellbeing over greed. Backed by commodity-based currencies, it envisions systems where happiness, meaning and purpose are embedded into how we work and live.

Work Less, Live More: The Three-Day Week

Powered by AI, robotics, nuclear fusion, and hypersonic transport, the next economy could support a three-day workweek. What’s left? More time for human connection, creativity, and joy. It’s not about working less—it’s about living more.

Beyond Extremes: A Balanced, Multipolar World

The back cover of the book boldly calls out modern ideologies that threaten openness and growth. From Wokism to debt-driven economies, the authors challenge dogmas holding us back—and offer a path toward a rational, multipolar global system.

From Innovation to Intimacy: A Complete Life Reimagined

More than just a technology forecast, #Forwardism champions a future where freedom means time, intimacy, and self-actualisation. It’s not about escaping reality—it’s about redesigning it to serve human flourishing.

Behind today’s headlines, significant megatrends are emerging that will reshape our lives in tremendous ways. The United Nations predicts that humanity will be 800 per cent richer than today by the year 2100, with a projected increase of 300–500 per cent wealth by the 2070s. And we won’t have to worry about extreme weather events if we start allocating two per cent of the annual global GDP to adapt to extreme weather. We must turn today’s ‘Capitalism of Greed’ into ‘Karma Capitalism’, a kind of trickle-down capitalism that is good for everyone—what we call Happytalism or the Happynomy. We should tackle loneliness and anxiety and embrace love in all its varieties.

Fascist Wokism, Climatism and Islamism, as well as global drug cartels, should be eradicated. The global financial and monetary system must be renewed. New currencies, based on gold and other commodities should replace our current economy of debt. Massive innovations will enrich us in the new multipolar World Order.

The future of work will be hybrid. Innovations like AI, avatars, robots, space mining, deep-sea mining, abiotic oil, nuclear energy, thorium power plants, nuclear fusion, along with revolutions in food and health will increase productivity. This could allow for a three-day workweek, granting us more time for love, sex and friendship. Hypersonic aeroplanes are on the horizon, enabling us to fly from Mumbai to London in two hours.

This exciting future holds the potential for economic and spiritual growth, offering us more freedom than ever before. This inspirational book explores what the Happynomy might look like and how the era of #forwardism will unfold.
