PARADIGM SHIFT
Keynes’ Prediction For Today
The famous economist John Maynard Keynes believed that in about 100 years from 1930, humankind would face a new world in which we have so much financial independence that we have to choose new ways to create value for the sake of value itself (and not for money).
He believed we would continue choosing to work about three hours a day, simply because we love what we do.
This is shockingly similar to the idea of the four-hour work week, made popular by author Tim Ferriss. Do you believe that kind of lifestyle is possible? It is likely far closer than you imagine!
Technological efficiency, access to information, capital markets, and effective systems of government have contributed to a world where nearly anything is possible for those who have the knowledge and the passion to pursue their dreams.
While Keynes vision of the future may not have played out fully, I believe that anyone who wishes to have financial independence can have it within a relatively short period of time.
All they need are knowledge tools that can set them free into a life where they spend time doing the things meaningful to them, rather than slaving away at a job that drains their morale and energy.
