Money Changes Everything
How Global Prosperity is Reshaping Our Needs, Values, and Lifestyles
The debate on globalization is over. Globalization has won. And it’s working.
May 29, 2003

In Money Changes Everything, leading global money manager Peter Marber presents incontrovertible proof that new prosperity is spreading worldwide. Marber shows how this widening wealth is transforming everything it touches: culture, religion, family life, politics, education, leisure, the environment, and much more.

These are the deepest and most rapid changes in human history. They will affect you profoundly. Money Changes Everything reveals what to expect in your own life--and how to profit from this unprecedented age of global wealth.

While others debate or wring their hands, globalization has triumphed--and it's delivering unprecedented social and economic wealth to billions of people. Money Changes Everything illuminates the twin movements that are transforming human needs and values worldwide: the industrialization of developing countries via globalization and the transition of advanced societies into a post-industrial phase.

Peter Marber proves once and for all that globalization is not only improving life expectancy, literacy, and education rates, but also extending leisure time and delivering a broad new prosperity to most people and most societies. He focuses on the profound implications of these changes to human society as new material and experiential desires increasingly replace the fight for survival. Marber considers radical changes in what people value and want, how they govern themselves, the roles of women, families, and religion, and the environmental impacts of worldwide prosperity. In so doing, he illuminates the most profound changes in human history--and shows what they'll mean in our own lives and businesses.

Product Description
There is resounding evidence that we, in this global community, are living in a period of dramatic technological and other changes in the way we live. For millennia people struggled endlessly in the daily quest for food, clothing, and shelter. However, by any measure one wishes to use, social, economic, or otherwise, the world is growing rapidly more wealthy, everywhere. In 1960, CARE reported that 60% of the world lived in poverty. That figure is now down to 30%, and should halve again by 2015, even as the population of the world rises rapidly as well.
