Lessons from the Future:
Navigating the New Economic Era
 

Glen Hiemstra was one of the earliest voices to warn of an impending economic collapse, more than year before it happened. In this keynote speech Mr. Hiemstra addresses our economic past, present, and future. He explains how and why we got into the fix we are in, offering a unique historical perspective on demographics, technology, energy, environment, and social values. He then explores the potential long-term benefits that will come from the current downturn, if we pursue the right strategies. With his characteristic optimism, he challenges audiences to use this opportunity to re-think their fundamental premises, and demonstrates how major innovations have come from past recessions. The opportunity is ours. In a nutshell, Mr. Hiemstra says, “This is not our fathers’ recession.” What emerges on the other side will not be a traditional recovery but rather a new kind of economy, and society.
