          Are you looking forward to a better job, a larger house, a comfortable retirement? Do you think things are going pretty well for you? Wake Up! The unparalleled prosperity enjoyed by Western nations over the past 50 years is unsustainable. The balance of power is swiftly shifting to more entrepreneurial countries and this, coupled with the widening gap between rich and poor, a rise in global terrorism, the massive expansion of the Chinese economy, spiralling debt and an ageing population makes fundamental change to the lifestyles of those in the affluent West unavoidable. What is happening is not the cyclical change that most investors and business people experience, it is far more radical and far-reaching than anything experienced in living memory. Worried? You should be. But the bleak outlook doesn’t have to take everyone with it. Wake Up! provides practical help and advice that shows readers not only how to survive but also to prosper in the coming economic turmoil.
