Hello, I’m Erik Schatzker, editorial director of Bloomberg New Economic system. Making sense of any financial period requires an organizational framework. It’s good to sift the chaos of knowledge and narratives into classes that clearly seize the drivers of change in manufacturing, consumption and residing situations.
Discovering a framework that distills these transformative forces into one thing potent is tough — but important. At Bloomberg New Economic system, we’ve developed seven classes — consider them as megatrends — to make sense of a world altering at dizzying velocity. They’re geopolitical realignment, technological disruption, provide chain reorientation, monetary innovation, vitality transition, local weather danger and medical breakthroughs.
