Description

pp. 245, “David Foot, a noted Canadian demographer and professor of economics at the University of Toronto, exhibits a talent for explaining difficult concepts in a simplified manner. Boom, Bust and Echo reflects this and is quite easy to understand. This book will be of interest to those who take a long-term view of their company’s or even their own future regardless of their function in the workplace. Chapters are topical and cleverly constructed to seamlessly connect an explanation of the past to a prediction of the future. The arguments are solid and well presented–so well, in fact, that the reason for an economic or social phenomenon appears to be obvious. The test of the claim that demographics explains two-thirds of everything will be to see if the author’s predictions indeed come true. “
