You Will Own Nothing
You Will Own Nothing: Your War with a New Financial World Order and How to Fight Back | Carol Roth
2 posts | 3 read
The New York Times bestselling author and entrepreneur investigates what would happen if a new financial world order took hold, one in which global elites own everything and you own nothing—and yet you are somehow happy. When Carol Roth first heard that one of the World Economic Forum’s predictions for 2030 was “You will own nothing, and be happy,” she thought it was an outlandish fantasy. Then, she researched it. What she found was that a number of businesses, governments, and global elites share a vision of a future that sounds utopian: Everyone will have everything they need, and no one will own anything. From declines in home and vehicle ownership to global inflation and government spending, many of the trends of modern life reveal that a new world that is emerging—one in which Western citizens, by choice or by circumstance, increasingly do not own possessions or accumulate wealth. It’s the perfect economic environment for the rich and powerful to solidify their positions and prevent anyone else from getting ahead. In You Will Own Nothing ? Roth reveals how the agendas of Wall Street, world governments, international organizations, socialist activists, and multinational corporations like Blackrock all work together to reduce the power of the dollar and prevent millions of Americans from taking control of their wealth. She shows why owning fewer assets makes you poorer and less free. This book is essential guide to protecting your hard-earned wealth for the coming generations.

So my (conservative) dad has been reading one of my recs, so I tried to pick up this one (he hasn‘t read it yet). Unfortunately, you have to have a PHD in talk radio to understand a lot of it. Also, big claims were made that weren‘t backed up with references. That‘s what finally did me in 😬

Hooked_on_books Nothing drives me crazier than when things aren‘t backed up. Ugh! 11mo

A solid overview of why you can‘t buy a house, can‘t afford your college loans, and why someday you may need to pay a subscription for heated seats in your car. Basically, the ultra-wealthy and government actors have realized that making us rent everything, and I mean everything, will be wonderfully lucrative for them. Connecting this many dots between disparate fields necessitates breadth over depth, but perusing the bibliography can fix that.
