The Permanent Problem The Uncertain Transition from Mass Plenty to Mass Flourishing

In The Permanent Problem, Brink Lindsey examines what John Maynard Keynes termed the "permanent problem" the idea that despite increasing material plenty, the ultimate human aim of mass flourishing is still a distant goal. Lindsey explores the roots of issues which have led to a current triple crisis, with systems favoring economic elites, declining economic dynamism, and degraded political mechanisms. Ultimately, this book provides an analysis on the current situation, the impacts, and potential pathways to solutions in the future.
