Summary
What will planet Earth be like in 20 years? At mid-century? In the year 2100? Prescient and convincing, this book is a must-read for anyone concerned about the future. Never has the world offered more promise for the future and been more fraught with dangers. In this powerful and sometimes terrifying work, Attali analyzes the past and pinpoints nine distinct periods of human history, each with its world center of power and prestige, and predicts what the tenth will bring by the end of this century.
Attali foresees the disappearance of individual countries and the dominance of a world government, with democracy prevailing. However, the ultimate, burning question is: Will we leave our children and grandchildren a world that is not only viable but better, or in this nuclear world bequeath to them a planet that will be a living hell? Either way, he warns, the time to act is now.

Editor reviews
Jacques Attali, a French economist and former adviser to Francois Mitterand, lays out a chilling vision of our global future based on the paths taken by mankind throughout the course of history. In A Brief History of the Future, Attali argues that the progression toward individual freedoms has meant a greater focus on economic concerns rather than theological or militaristic ones which, in Attali's view, will lead to a dismantling of the nation-state. Alan Robertson has a gravelly voice that oddly manages to be soothing as well as unsettling as he details Attali's provocative vision of the impending world.

Natural or facilitated
It’s easy to see how some of the predictions will come to pass. Others appear to be on the horizon simply because those, with the power to effect change, are taking actions to ensure them. I think these books are therefore often a combination of predictions and blueprints.

A crucial outline of NWO elite plans
I shake my head at the negative reviews of this excellent offering on Audible. This isn't about whether or not you agree with Attali's vision, or his morality - he frankly lays out a terrifying nightmare scenario of impoverished, isolated, alienated serfdom for the 21-century West and psychopathically appears indifferent about it - but about whether or not you wish to understand what the elites have planned for our future. Attali was like France's Kissinger, an absolute deep-state insider, and when he lays out his ideas, it is idiotic not to take notice. Personally, I hope that the evil empire outlined in his vision (what he calls the "super empire" run by "hyper nomads") is derailed at the last minute by righteous men, but my own views are irrelevant here - what's important is that this audiobook lays out in a very digestible way, from an insider himself, the kind of Great Reset world that the elites want to foist upon us, thus helping the would-be reader to know his enemy all the better.
Thank you Audible for this book - even putting it in the Plus Catalogue, helping it to maximise the audience. I also really liked the narrator, who had a grave tone in his narrating - perfect for this particular title, and can't believe why he would be given a low rating for his work. 10/10.
EDIT: I should also state that those listening to the book in 2022 will find parts of the book give them goosebumps, particularly chapter 4, in the light of recent events. If the last two years of complete state lawlessness are anything to go by, Attali had access to globalist plans and gave them out ahead of time.
